Characterful Japanese wooden storage box from the Shōwa period, once used as a household pharmacy.
Dimensions: height 12 cm, width 19 cm, depth 23 cm.
The drawer with a metal handle, along with the front, top, and sides, is richly decorated with bold red-and-black graphics and text.
The front and top feature three Daruma figures, symbols of luck and resilience, while the sides carry inscriptions such as ケロリン (Kerorin – a well-known Japanese pain reliever for headaches and toothaches).
Today, this piece is not only a tangible fragment of Japan’s pharmaceutical history but also a unique decorative accent. It serves perfectly as a storage box for keys, sewing supplies, office items, or small collectibles – while doubling as a striking graphic eyecatcher in any interior.
The visible signs of age highlight its authenticity, while the vivid red color and playful Daruma illustrations lend the box a charming, almost pop-art character.
