【Historical Provenance & Retailer Note】
This piece features the original metallic badge reading "Murauchi Home Center" (村内ホームセンター).
Founded in 1953 in Hachioji, Tokyo, Murauchi was a pioneering Japanese retail institution that established one of Japan's largest high-end furniture showrooms, operating under the name "Murauchi Home Center" from 1969 until its rebranding to "Murauchi Furniture Access" in 1989.
The presence of this authentic maker/retailer badge serves as direct verification of the piece's provenance, confirming it as a high-grade Showa-period (1970s–1980s) cabinet selected and retailed through one of Tokyo's most reputable luxury furniture stores.
