Antique Japanese Dressing Mirror (SKU 25D-419)

Showa-era style kiri-wood dressing stand with warm patina and understated mingei charm

This antique Japanese dressing mirror, or kyōdai, stands in a simple rectilinear frame supported by broad, stepped feet that echo early 20th-century Showa design. The warm brown timber shows a softly aged surface with darker, almost smoked figuring along the edges, giving the piece a quiet presence that suits both traditional and modern interiors.

The mirror is held within a sturdy mortise-and-tenon stand, typical of everyday mingei furnishings, and retains its original glass with gentle clouding and speckling consistent with age. Ideal as a floor or low-table dressing mirror, it also works beautifully as an accent piece to bring authentic Japanese vintage character to an entryway, bedroom, or boutique display.

As part of our mission to preserve and share Japanese craftsmanship, we offer antiques that were made not just to be admired, but to be used. These pieces were crafted for everyday life, and we honor their purpose by ensuring they can continue to be enjoyed and lived with today.

We use professional studio lighting to highlight the natural character of the wood. As a result, the tone may appear slightly warmer than under natural daylight.

All vintage and antique items are sold as-is. Each piece may exhibit signs of age, including scratches, wear, or minor imperfections. These are not considered defects but natural evidence of the item’s authenticity and age.
