About the Item

This is an old Japanese drawer. It is a type with a deeper drawer than a normal drawer. It is estimated that it was made around the Meiji period. The material is made of cedar. Chipping and friction seem to be an art that is naturally expressed by long-term use. Because the top plate is wide, it can also be used as a night table or side table. Also, when combined with simple and small items and vases, you can also create the beauty of Wabisabi. We recommend incorporating the beauty of Wabisabi into the interior. Weight: 23.5kg
