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.
The base one of the metal handle was missing, but it was repaired with a similar old part.
There are parts where the drawers cannot be stored completely flat.

We think the current warped state is beautiful.

It is characterized by the simplicity that is unique to Japan.
The minimum parts have been carefully maintained so as not to spoil the atmosphere of the passage of time.

All have been cleaned and disinfected.

With this in mind, we carefully select and collect old Japanese tools. ... See less
