Description

Vintage Japanese Altar Fitting 12" Wide Kyozukue Table (SKU 25D-453-7)

Showa-era lacquered butsudan stand with gilt and carved pine motifs

This compact Japanese altar table, or butsudan-dai, is finished in a deep black lacquer highlighted with delicate hand-painted gold scrollwork. The slightly upturned ends of the top recall traditional temple architecture, while the low stance and rounded feet give it a grounded, ceremonial presence ideal for displaying a Buddha figure, incense burner, or cherished object.

Beneath the top runs a carved frieze of stylized pine boughs, framed by gilt corner blocks and a base apron decorated with floral makie-style designs. Areas of gentle wear to the lacquer and gilding reveal its age and add character, making this vintage Japanese altar table a distinctive accent for a tokonoma, meditation space, 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.
