About the Item
This is an old Japanese-made cabinet.
It was made in the early Showa period (1920s-1940s).
It features traditional Japanese design.
The wood pattern is used in an interesting way as decoration.
The overall design is simple, but the wood grain pattern creates a unique touch.
The drawers open and close smoothly.
All parts have been cleaned and disinfected.
You can use it with confidence.
This product embodies the Japanese spirit of "wabi-sabi," which finds beauty in imperfection and impermanence.
Its understated, unconventional beauty is the opposite of vulgarity.
This is an extremely rare piece that you won't find anywhere else.
Since ancient times, people have made and passed down the tools they needed from familiar materials to survive in harsh natural environments, and through these tools they have nurtured their lives and culture.
The more they use it, the more it develops its own unique character, reflecting the lives of the people of that time.
The harsher the natural environment and the weaker the people, the stronger this power becomes.
In an age where cheap and disposable goods are encouraged, the act of repeatedly modifying and remaking everyday items opens up new worlds.
We carefully select and collect beautiful, powerful, and unique Japanese antiques.
