Description from the seller

Good condition.

Description:
This is a wooden carrying box with a simple, functional design that reflects traditional Japanese craftsmanship. The box is rectangular in form and made from dark-stained wood, showing a natural grain and a softly worn surface that suggests age and regular use. An upright wooden handle spans the top, fitted into the side supports, allowing the box to be easily lifted and moved.

Inside the main compartment, the space is open and generously sized, suitable for holding utensils or daily tools. A removable bamboo cylinder is placed upright within the box, likely intended to hold chopsticks, brushes, or slender implements. The contrast between the pale bamboo and the darker wood adds a quiet visual balance to the overall appearance.

At the front of the box is a small sliding drawer with a simple round knob, providing discreet storage for smaller items. When opened, the drawer reveals a plainly finished interior that emphasizes practicality over decoration. The construction throughout is straightforward and sturdy, with clean joints and an emphasis on usefulness rather than ornament.

The overall impression is modest and utilitarian, yet warm and refined. This piece would have been well suited for everyday use in a domestic or workshop setting, such as a tea preparation area, a writing desk, or a craft workspace. Its restrained aesthetic and honest materials embody a sense of calm functionality and understated beauty.
