Description

Vintage Japanese Altar Fitting 7" Wide Kyozukue Table (SKU 25D-453-3)

Showa-period miniature butsudan altar stand with rich maki-e and worn gilt accents

This compact vintage altar table, or shokudai-dai, is finished in deep brown-black lacquer and delicately decorated in gold and red maki-e. The gently waisted top is bordered with trailing vine and leaf motifs, while the sides are wrapped in a gilt band with carved floral details that retain an appealing, time-softened luster.

Resting on four scrolling legs with pierced aprons, the base is embellished with auspicious motifs such as stylized clouds and foliage, evoking the refined atmosphere of a traditional Japanese butsudan. Ideal as a small display stand for a Buddha figure, incense bowl, or treasured object, this Showa-era piece brings authentic temple elegance to a tokonoma, altar, or curated vignette.

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.
