Japanese Antique Black Wooden Box / Storage Sofa Table / 1868-1912s WabiSabi

About the Item

This is a black wooden storage box from the old days of Japan. Because it is made of cedar, the weight is not so heavy. The overall impression is black, but in some places there are tips and friction, which creates the whole atmosphere. The part with a chipped lid is repaired with a hemp cord. There is almost no extra decoration, and because of the simple design, just decorating will change the impression of the space. I think it can also be used for sofa tables, coffee tables, or exhibition stands. Weight: 8.8kg

    Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba
    The wooden box made from the Meiji period to the Taisho period (1868-1900). The wooden box made by combining simple cedar boards. I think it was a box that contained some tools. For many years, soot from the hearth and other parts stuck together and accumulated, resulting in such a black appearance. Don't worry, this soot won't stick to your hands if you touch it. It has a very beautiful black color overall and a simple shape. Good condition. It is a nice wooden box that makes you feel very wabisabi. It is also nice to use as a table or exhibition stand. Things like this are not everywhere. It's rare. Also, in Japan, such things are becoming less and less common. We believe that it is our mission to convey the charm of such old things and keep them. There are few stores that sell such items at 1st dibs. We sell with...
