About the Item

This storage furniture, known as a "kurumanagamochi" (cartridge), has been used in Japan since ancient times. Made primarily from pine and cedar, it was commonly used in the Tohoku region. It was typically placed at the entrance of a home to store household goods. It is thought to date to the Edo or Meiji period. The natural reddish-black color, which has aged over time, blends beautifully with the peeling paint, giving it a beauty reminiscent of a work of art. Its simple silhouette enhances the items displayed. The flat top makes it ideal as a sideboard or display stand. This is the perfect piece to incorporate the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi, which brings tranquility and harmony to any space. Weight: 43.4 kg
