Antique Japanese Letter Box — 1920s, Taisho Era
Where Practicality Meets Graceful Craftsmanship

This beautifully woven antique Japanese letter box from the 1920s Taisho era reflects the elegance of Japanese design in everyday life. Crafted from tightly interlaced bamboo strips in a handsome rectangular form, the box offers both visual warmth and quiet refinement. Its understated surface—darkened by age and use—hints at decades of care and communication, possibly used in a merchant’s home or tea establishment for storing correspondence or paper goods.

Beyond its function, this box is a work of art in subtlety. Each corner is neatly finished, the weave even and intentional, displaying a craftsman's attention to harmony and detail. Whether placed on a desk, entryway console, or shelf, it serves as both an object of utility and a window into the quiet rhythms of Japanese life in the early 20th century.
