The upper section is configured with two pairs of sliding doors fitted with rectangular patinated copper thumb grips. The lower section comprises eight drawers of varying sizes, a sliding door with horizontal bars adorned with a reticulated floral motif, and a hinged door equipped with a concealed locking mechanism. A horizontal bar can be slid sideways to secure it. All drawers are fitted with warabite-shaped iron handles.
The drawers and sliding doors glide smoothly, offering ample capacity for convenient storage.
Period: Japan – Meiji period, around 1900.

Height 176.2 cm (Top 87.8 cm, Bottom 88.4 cm), Width 103.2 cm, Depth 43.8 cm.
