Japanese Antique Black Wooden Box 1860s-1900s/Coffee Table Tansu Mingei

About the Item

This is an old Japanese black wooden box. It is from the Meiji period (1860s-1900s). The material is cedar. It is a lean design. It has no unnecessary metal fittings. It is the ultimate in simplicity. This is black and beautiful. Why is it black? It is because of soot. In Japan, there is a culture of Irori (hearth). When soot from the hearth gets on the box, it turns black like this. After many years of use, it has become a very deep color. It can also be used as a sofa table. It is very rare. Weight: 5.2kg.
