This is a beautifully carved vintage Japanese wooden chest, featuring an expressive bamboo motif engraved across all four drawer fronts. The surface displays a distinctive red-and-black lacquer-style finish, evoking the tactile depth of traditional Japanese craftwork. Based on the carving techniques, paint pattern, and construction style, this piece was likely produced in the late Showa period (circa 1960s–1980s). The textured geometric pattern across the body, combined with the bold bamboo relief, is typical of regional lacquer-inspired workshop production of this era. The chest consists of four smoothly sliding drawers, ideal for storing accessories, stationery, watches, or small collectibles. Despite age-related wear, the item retains its authentic charm—showing natural patina, small scuffs, and light marks consistent with vintage use. One small label remains on the back, indicating original workshop inspection details. This piece functions both as a practical storage item and as a decorative accent for Japanese-inspired interiors. Its rich, deep colors and carved bamboo motifs make it a standout addition for collectors who appreciate Showa-era craftsmanship. ⸻ Dimensions • Height: 29 cm • Width: 23 cm • Depth: 25 cm ⸻ Condition • Vintage condition with expected wear, small scratches, and minor surface chips. • Drawers slide properly. • Interior wood is clean overall with a few minor stains. • No major structural damage.
