This is an antique Japanese chest of drawers.
It features a simple design with only carved handles.

It is a very old chest of drawers, and while it remains largely in its original condition, it is still in such good condition that it can be used as is.

While preserving its original ambiance, we've added complementary colors with natural dyes where necessary.

The distinctive black color, developed over many years, is captivating.

The doors slide smoothly.
It is in excellent condition for a piece of furniture from this era.
You can use it with confidence.
This piece evokes the Japanese philosophy of "wabi-sabi." "Wabi-sabi" means finding beauty in imperfection and impermanence.
The polar opposite of vulgarity, beauty found in modesty, and unconventional beauty.
This is an extremely rare, one-of-a-kind piece.
Weight: Approximately 27 kg

Since ancient times, people have crafted the tools they needed from familiar materials to survive the harsh battle with nature, passing them down through generations and fostering their lifestyles and culture.

These tools have developed a unique character through years of use and reflect the way people lived.

The harsher the natural environment and the weaker the people, the stronger their power.

In an age where cheap, disposable products are encouraged, the act of repeatedly modifying and remaking everyday objects opens up new worlds.

Based on this philosophy, we collect beautiful, powerful, and unique antiques carefully selected from Japan.
