We have an aesthetic sense peculiar to Japanese people.
And we introduce the unique items that only we can do, the route of purchasing in Japan, the experience value so far, and the way that no one can imitate.
This desk was made in the latter half of the Edo period (1700 to 1800) in Japan.
In old Japan, people used to sit on the floor to eat and study.
This is a desk mainly for studying and office work.
In the Edo period, there was a facility to teach study.
The name of the facility is called "Terakoya".
Here the children were learning to read and write.
Such a desk was also used there.
It is also used in stores.
It is made of cedar wood.
Sugi is a wood that has been used since ancient times in Japan.
It has been widely used in architecture and furniture.
And this is black and beautiful.
Probably black lacquer is applied.
In addition, Japan has a hearth culture.
In addition, soot such as braziers and candles adheres and turns black.
I think it was used in northern Japan, especially in cold regions.
There are only a few desks in the Edo period.
And there are fewer such beautiful black desks.
It's very rare.
Even Japanese people cannot easily find it.
Also, I think that we are the only shop that sells this even in 1st dibs.
Also as a confirmation item
Very old...
