About the Item

This is a very old drawer storage chest made in Japan. It dates back to the Meiji era (1860s–1920s) and is crafted from Japanese cedar wood. The metal fittings are made of iron. The design is simple and efficient, free of excess. It embodies a rustic strength and modest beauty unique to Japan. You can see that it has been lovingly cared for and carefully repaired over the years. The natural grain and warm tones of the cedar wood are especially appealing. It has been meticulously maintained to preserve its aged charm. Both the exterior and the interior of the drawers have been thoroughly washed and sanitized. All drawers open and close smoothly, making it ready for practical use. There is no insect damage, and it remains in excellent condition. This piece of furniture reflects the Japanese aesthetic of *wabi-sabi* a philosophy that finds beauty in imperfection and impermanence. It represents a quiet, understated elegance and stands in contrast to vulgarity or excess. This is a truly unique and rare item. Since ancient times, the Japanese have crafted tools and furnishings from familiar natural materials as a means of living in harmony with their environment. These objects were handed down through generations, forming the foundation of a rich and thoughtful way of life. Items that have been used for many years develop a distinctive patina and character, reflecting not only their use but also the spirit of their time and the lives of their owners. In today’s world, where mass production and disposability are the norm, we believe that restoring and continuing to use the objects around us opens the door to a new way of thinking. With this philosophy at our core, we carefully select and present antiques from across Japan each one beautiful, powerful, and full of individuality.
