Very old Japanese small drawer storage.
The furniture is from the Meiji period (1860s-1900s).
It is made of cedar wood and pine.
The handles are made of iron.
This is almost in its original condition.

All of this is a natural phenomenon caused by aging.
We think the current warped state is beautiful.

All have been cleaned and disinfected.
You can use it with confidence.

In today's world where cheap and disposable goods are encouraged, the act of repeatedly modifying and remaking the things around us opens up a new world.
With this in mind, we carefully select and collect old Japanese tools. ...
