Description

Vintage Japanese Altar Table (SKU 25D-453-5)

Showa-period kuro-urushi butsudan stand with gilt and maki-e dragon and pine motifs

This compact Japanese altar table, or shoku, is finished in deep black lacquer and richly accented with gold. Gently upturned ends frame the top platform, while the sides are adorned with scrolling maki-e vines, carved pine boughs, and gilt ribbing that catch the light and emphasize its tiered architectural form.

Made for use within a household butsudan shrine during the mid-Showa era, it would traditionally support offerings, incense, or a small image. Today it serves equally well as an evocative display stand for a favorite tea bowl, okimono, or incense burner, bringing an authentic touch of vintage Japanese craftsmanship to any interior.

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.
