Antique Japanese Sewing (Haribako) / Stationery Box — Tamo Burl, 1920s, Taishō Era (SKU: 25M-364)

Small drawers, big dreams—stitching kimono silk to everyday wonder

This jewel-like haribako gleams with rippled tamo (Japanese ash) burl, its deep amber figuring prized by Taishō-era craftsmen eager to blend Western curves with Japanese precision. Inside, silk threads once nested beside silver thimbles; outside, sleek Art-Deco-inspired bronze pulls catch the light with quiet sophistication.

Beyond sewing notions, it now offers sanctuary for watches, fountain pens, or tea sachets—any token deserving care. Place it on a desk, dresser, or tokonoma alcove and watch how its graceful lines lend calm order to daily ritual.
