Description

Vintage Japanese Altar Table (SKU 25D-090-2)

Showa-era miniature butsudan altar stand with black lacquer top and gilt chrysanthemum carving

This compact Japanese altar table, or shoku, captures the ornate spirit of Showa-period household Buddhism. The glossy black top is supported by a vivid orange base framed with scrolling legs, while the front and sides are richly finished in gold with raised chrysanthemum and foliage motifs, echoing the decoration of full-size butsudan (family altars).

Likely made in the mid–late 20th century, this vintage Japanese piece works beautifully as a small shrine platform for a Buddha figure, incense bowl, or okimono, and is equally appealing as a decorative stand in a wabi-sabi interior. Areas of gentle wear to the gilt and lacquer add an authentic aged character without distracting from its presence.

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.
