About the Item

This small drawer was produced in the Taisho period. This chest is made of sturdy cedar with a lacquer finish, with a base panel made of lightweight paulownia wood and an iron handle that adds industrial elegance. Decades of natural fading and wear reveal a deep black on the wood surface, creating unparalleled texture and character. The contrast between the soft black tones of the wood and the sturdy black iron hardware exudes both strength and sophistication. This chest is perfect for those who want to bring a touch of "wa" (Japanese harmony) and vintage charm to their space, and will complement both Japanese-inspired and antique decor. A rare piece of history and art, you can bring the timeless beauty of Japanese tradition into your home. Weight:7.8kg
