Antique Japanese Haribako Sewing Box, Wood, 1950s, Showa Era (SKU 25S-554-1)

Compact Showa-era style Japanese wooden sewing box with striking grain and multiple drawers

This antique Japanese small box is crafted as a haribako sewing box, featuring a beautifully figured wood façade with dramatic, tiger-like grain. The warm amber tones of the drawer fronts contrast with the darker case, creating a bold yet refined presence that reflects mid 20th-century Japanese craftsmanship.

Designed for organizing personal treasures, the box opens to reveal a series of graduated drawers and a long upper compartment concealed beneath a hinged lid. Ideal as a jewelry box, document chest, or desktop organizer, it brings authentic Showa-period charm and practical storage to a shelf, tokonoma alcove, or modern interior.
