About the Item
This is an old Japanese wooden feeding trough (kaiba-oke) made around the 20th century. It is crafted from cedar wood, a material well-suited to Japan’s natural climate, and its distinctive wood grain stands out beautifully. Its simple and unadorned construction makes it a piece that evokes a rustic sense of aesthetic that resonates with modern sensibilities.
Originally used by farmers to hold feed, the thick top board has aged gracefully over time, developing a rich and soft patina. The condition is very good, with no signs of wood rot, and overall it remains relatively clean and well-preserved.
Thanks to its charming texture and appearance, this feeding trough offers great versatility in contemporary interior design. It functions well as a coffee table in the living room or entrance hall, and can also be used comfortably as a bench, adding warmth and depth to any space. Moreover, it is recommended as a display stand for shops or art pieces, where its rustic yet commanding presence will enhance the environment, tightening the space’s atmosphere while harmonizing perfectly with other furniture.
In this way, it not only offers a glimpse into traditional Japanese life but also naturally blends into modern living. Its design, which transcends eras, is one of the reasons why it continues to be cherished. The simple beauty of this piece will bring a rich flow of time into your space.
The size is a substantial yet practical width of 125 cm, depth of 41 cm, and height of 25.6 cm, making it easy to fit into any room.
Please enjoy this rare item as a new value in your lifestyle.

[We are a specialized team dealing in antiques and vintage items, comprised of stores based on three distinct brands. While focusing on Japanese items, we also offer a carefully curated selection of attractive goods from around the world—each evoking the culture and history of its country of origin.
Unlike the traditional Japanese antique furniture and art that have been appreciated overseas until now, we shine a light on the tools and furniture that were used for many years in ordinary Japanese homes and farmhouses. These objects have gained a unique charm over time, their beauty deepened by the history accumulated through daily life. In today’s world, however, many of these precious items are discarded during home demolitions. We are committed to reassessing their value and passing them on to future generations.
Drawing from our extensive experience—having seen tens of thousands of items through direct purchases, markets, and auction houses—we carefully select and present only the most captivating pieces. This is something made possible only through the years of knowledge and expertise we have cultivated.
Rather than focusing on the widely known facets of Japanese art and culture, we highlight the subtle beauty born from the everyday life of common people. It is this rediscovered beauty, steeped in history, that we strive to share with the world.]
