About the Item

This is an old wooden storage box made in Japan. It is thought to date from around the Meiji period and is made of cedar. It has a simple design with no metal fittings. The overall matte black color has aged beautifully over the years. Old paper from that time is pasted on the inside. It was apparently used to protect against moisture. Over the years, the paper has peeled off in places, creating a patterned appearance. I think this is one of the valuable designs that has been created over the years. The simple design will match any space. It can be used as a side table or display stand, and can also be used for storing items inside. Weight: 5.5kg
