Description

Vintage Japanese Kannon Statue, Showa Era (SKU 25D-474)

Showa-era Japanese craftsmanship with warm aged patina

This vintage Japanese piece is a solid-wood low table, or chabudai, rather than a statue, showcasing the honest utility and charm of mid-20th-century Showa design. The thick single-panel top has softly rounded corners and a rich, dark stain that has mellowed over time, revealing the natural grain and character marks from decades of use.

Underneath, the table features a robust framework with fixed legs and traditional joinery, along with hand-brushed Japanese script that hints at its workshop origin or former household. Ideal as a tea table, display platform for a Kannon statue or other butsugu, or as a characterful coffee table in a wabi-sabi interior, it brings an authentic vintage Japanese presence to any space.

A versatile Showa-era chabudai that pairs beautifully with Japanese antiques, from Kannon statues to everyday tea ware.

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.
