About the Item
This is an antique wooden low table that was used in rural areas and shops in Japan.
In Japanese, this is called "fu-zukue."
Farmers used it to study, and shops used it to keep track of their books. It was also sometimes used as a workbench.
At that time, it was an essential piece of furniture used by people in various professions.
It is thought to have been made between approximately 1868 and 1920.
The material is zelkova and everything from the top plate to the legs are made of zelkova.
The beautiful wood grain of the zelkova on the top plate is slightly visible, making it attractive.
The top plate is slightly warped, but this is not a problem for placing cups, books, etc.
Things like this are becoming rarer and rarer in Japan.
We believe it is our mission to convey the charm of these old things and preserve them.

Antique Japanese wooden coffee table / 1868-1920 / sofa table / display stand
Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba
This wooden low table, known as a fuzukue (writing desk), was made in Japan between the late Edo and Meiji periods (circa 1868-1920). A writing desk is a traditional Japanese piece of furniture, originally a small desk used while sitting on a tatami mat. While primarily used as a practical tool for writing, reading, and writing letters, its dignified presence has led to its current popularity as a decorative table and low table.
This writing desk is crafted from Japanese zelkova (keyaki) wood. Zelkova is a precious wood that has long been beloved by the Japanese people and is known for its use in shrine and temple construction. Due to its solid, hard wood with particularly beautiful grain, it is often used for luxury furniture and crafts. The tabletop features the beautiful annual ring pattern, known as "bamboo shoot grain," characteristic of zelkova. Combined with the rich texture borne over time, this wood exudes a quiet, engaging charm.
The tabletop is carved from a single piece of wood and shows slight warping, but is generally in very good condition. The legs are simple and sturdy, indicating they have withstood years of use. There's no wobble, making it safe to use in modern living spaces.
At just 23cm high, it's perfect for pairing with a sofa or zaisu chair...
