A striking and richly textured Japanese Kamakura-bori lacquer storage chest, beautifully decorated with a deeply carved floral motif across its three front drawers. Kamakura-bori is a celebrated traditional craft originating from the Kamakura region, known for its bold relief carving and layers of lacquer that reveal dramatic tonal contrast. This chest showcases the characteristic black-and-red lacquer palette, with the carved flower emerging in sculptural relief against a geometric background resembling tortoiseshell or scaled patterning. The interplay of the lacquer layers reveals warm red tones beneath the darker surface, creating the depth and patina that collectors prize in authentic mid-20th-century Japanese lacquerwork. The chest features: Three drawers, each smoothly sliding and constructed from natural wood interiors A top compartment accessed by lifting the lid, suitable for tools, accessories, or sewing items Carved decorative drawer pulls with traditional Japanese motifs A solid rectangular form, designed for both practicality and artistic display Originally used as a sewing box (haribako), this piece now serves beautifully as an interior décor object, jewelry or accessory chest, or a statement collector’s item. Estimated Period Mid-20th century (circa 1950s–1970s) Based on carving style, lacquer technique, and construction. Dimensions (approx.) Width: 31.5 cm Depth: 19.5 cm Height: 26 cm Condition Good vintage condition with expected minor wear consistent with age, including small surface marks and lacquer rubs.
