About the Item

This account consists of five companies, We specialize in Japanese antiques and select carefully selected items. With 20 years of experience, we offer Japanese antiques from our unique perspective. A very old Japanese lacquered small drawer storage. This furniture is from the Meiji period (1860s-1920s). It is made of cedar wood. The handles are made of iron. The design is ultimately simple and lean. It is characterized by a uniquely Japanese simplicity. It has been carefully and meticulously maintained so as not to spoil the time-worn atmosphere. All drawers open and close smoothly. All have been cleaned and sanitized. You can use them with peace of mind. The spirit of “wabi-sabi,” the Japanese philosophy of finding beauty in imperfection and impermanence, can be felt. It is the opposite of vulgarity; it is understated, modest, and unconventional beauty. This is a unique and very rare item. It weighs 8.5 kilograms. Since ancient times, people have created and inherited necessary tools from familiar materials to survive in the severe struggle against nature, and have nurtured a lifestyle culture. As they are used over time, they gain in flavor and reflect a person's way of life. In today's world, where cheap and disposable products are encouraged, the act of repeatedly modifying and re-creating the things around us opens up a new world. With this philosophy in mind, we collect beautiful, powerful, and unique carefully selected antiques from Japan.
