About the Item

This is an old drawer storage made in Japan. It is a historic piece of furniture made during the Meiji and Taisho periods (1860s-1920s). The material is cedar wood. The handles are made of iron, and the texture of the time-honored iron looks beautiful. The design is very simple. The absence of superfluous decoration gives it an impressive, quiet appearance. There are 14 drawers in total, and they open and close smoothly. It can still be used well for daily storage. It shows signs of having been used with care over the years, and has been repaired. The surface wear and uneven coloring give the piece a deep, unique look. It has already been carefully cleaned, so you can use it immediately with peace of mind. This furniture is imbued with the spirit of “wabi-sabi. Tranquility, simplicity, and the layering of time are the beauty of this piece. Weight: about 25kg __________________________________________ Our Philosophy Objects always tell the truth. All I can do is just to face with them sincerely and give them deep affection as much as I can. There is no boundary of nationalities and of eras in beauty. But I think now is the time we choose 'Japanese style' and it will be the best way to remind us of what we are losing today and to question us about an essence of beauty again. I hope that you can touch the memories which the objects here have, feel and think of something invisible but exists undoubtedly.
