Antique Japanese Sewing Box (SKU 25D-341-3)

Taishō-era style itomakura sewing chest with multiple drawers for elegant storage

This compact Japanese sewing box, or haribako, is crafted in a rich dark-stained wood with a quietly refined rectangular form. The front is arranged like a miniature tansu, featuring a wide top drawer, a row of smaller drawers, and a lower drawer and compartment, each fitted with traditional brass pulls that have mellowed to a soft patina over time.

Originally used to organize sewing notions, threads, and small tools, it now makes an atmospheric desktop chest for stationery, jewelry, or tea accessories. The time-softened edges, subtle wear to the finish, and warm sheen of the hardware all speak to early 20th-century Taishō workmanship, bringing an authentic antique presence to either Japanese or modern interiors.

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.
