Vintage Japanese Wood Box with Sliding Cover
Details
Wooden boxes like the one offered here were traditionally used in Japan to store pottery and lacquerware. With Japan’s extreme seasonal changes—hot, humid summers and cool, dry winters—ceramics and lacquer items require careful storage. These handmade boxes help protect delicate pieces from fluctuations in temperature and humidity.
Date unknown.
