Description

Vintage Japanese Altar Fitting 6 1/2" Wide Kyozukue Table, 1940s, Showa Era (SKU 25D-453-9)

Showa-era kurodame altar stand with gilt and vermilion carved detail

This compact butsudan altar table is finished in deep black lacquer, its softly rounded top resting above a richly decorated frieze. Vermilion-red openwork carving evokes stylised foliage bound by ribbed gilt columns, while fine gold maki-e style scrolls accent the edges and apron, lending the piece a refined temple presence.

Raised on four curling gilt feet with cloud-like skirts, the stand was designed to elevate a small Buddhist image, okimono, or incense burner, and now serves equally well as a display riser in a tokonoma or on a modern shelf. The combination of glossy black urushi-style finish, warm gold, and red carving captures the opulent aesthetic of mid-Showa devotional furnishings.

A finely detailed vintage Japanese altar stand that brings authentic Showa-era elegance to any devotional or display setting.

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.
