About the Item

This is a small drawer storage made in Japan. It was made between the Meiji and Taisho periods (1860s-1920s) and is made of cedar wood. The handles are made of iron. The lean, linear design embodies the aesthetic concept of simplicity and blends naturally into contemporary spaces. The surface of the piece has been used over time, and the black paint has peeled off to reveal the underlying wood surface, creating a beautiful contrast. This is a unique texture that has been carved over time and quietly tells the history of the user. There are traces of insect bites on the back, but it is currently insect-free and can be used with peace of mind. The drawers open and close smoothly and have all been cleaned. The spirit of “wabi sabi,” or beauty in tranquility, resides in this piece. This is an excellent product for those who want to feel the Japanese sense of beauty. Weight: 8kg _____________________________________________ 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.
