About the Item

This is an old drawer storage made in Japan. It was made between the Meiji and Taisho periods (1860s-1920s). The material used is cedar wood, and iron hardware is attached to the handles. The furniture has a solid and quiet appearance, made with an emphasis on practicality in the Japanese lifestyle. The design is very simple, with a lean structure that eliminates any ornamentation. It is the very embodiment of "simplicity. The piece has a deep, rich look that is the result of its continued use through the ages. The scuffing of the wood surface and peeling of the paint are proof of the long years of use, and give the piece a quiet beauty that is unique to old furniture. The upper drawer has a paper labeled “Documents,” which suggests that important documents and materials were once stored there. These traces are also a part of the memories engraved on the object, and add to the furniture's charm. All drawers open and close smoothly and can be used without problems in modern life. Both inside and outside have been carefully cleaned for your peace of mind. It can be easily used as a nightstand in the bedroom or a side table in the living room, making it suitable for a wide range of uses. A texture that can only be obtained with the passage of time. It has a presence that evokes a sense of serenity and depth. This is where the spirit of Japanese “Wabi Sabi” resides. Weight: 12 kg __________________________________ Our Philosophy Objects always tell the truth. All I can do is just to face with them sincerely and give them deep affection as much as I can. There is no boundary of nationalities and of eras in beauty. But I think now is the time we choose 'Japanese style' and it will be the best way to remind us of what we are losing today and to question us about an essence of beauty again. I hope that you can touch the memories which the objects here have, feel and think of something invisible but exists undoubtedly.
