Japanese Wall-Mounted Savings Box – Wood and Printed Paper – Japan
A pre-war or wartime Japanese savings or donation box with a printed national flag, patriotic inscriptions and a metal coin slot.

Description
This tall wooden box was designed to receive coins through the horizontal metal slot on the front. A reinforced hole at the upper back appears to have allowed the box to be mounted on a wall.
The front is covered with an aged green printed paper label featuring the Japanese national flag. The visible inscriptions include old-form Japanese wording encouraging the display of the national flag and patriotic saving. The design and historical spelling suggest a date in the late Shōwa pre-war or wartime period, although the exact year and issuing organisation are unknown.
The object has a simple functional construction using wooden boards and metal fasteners. It is an evocative example of Japanese domestic or community savings culture from the first half of the twentieth century. It may also be displayed as a historical graphic object in an industrial, wabi-sabi or eclectic interior.

Material:
Wood, printed paper and metal fittings.

Technique:
Constructed from joined wooden boards with applied printed paper decoration and attached metal fittings.

Condition:
In heavily used and distressed condition. The wooden surfaces have extensive scratches, abrasions, stains, finish loss, small chips and worn edges. The printed paper has fading, surface dirt, scratches, creases and losses, particularly at the upper left and lower right corners.
The metal coin slot has substantial oxidation. One upper fastener is missing, and another nail or fastener projects from the top. The opening mechanism and usability have not been tested. No key or separate accessories are included.
