About the Item
This is a very old black-lacquered drawer storage unit made in Japan.
Judging from the handle design, it appears to date from the Meiji period. It is very old.
It comes with a lock. The lock works.
It is made of cedar.
The design is simple and uncluttered.
This is a beautiful piece of furniture that exudes a rustic feel unique to Japan.
All drawers open and close smoothly.
All have been washed and disinfected.
You can use it with confidence.
This product embodies the spirit of wabi-sabi, the Japanese philosophy of finding beauty in imperfection and impermanence.
It is a modest, understated, and unconventional beauty that is the polar opposite of vulgarity.
This is a one-of-a-kind, extremely rare piece.
Since ancient times, people have made and passed down the tools they needed from familiar materials to survive in the harsh battle with nature, fostering a lifestyle and culture.
The more they are used, the more they develop their own unique character, reflecting the way people live their lives.
The harsher the natural environment and the weaker humans are, the stronger its power becomes.
In an age where cheap, disposable products are encouraged, the act of repeatedly refining and remaking the things around us opens up new worlds.
Based on this philosophy, we carefully select and collect beautiful, powerful, and one-of-a-kind Japanese antiques.
