Vintage Japanese Kamakura Kyodai Mirror (SKU 25D-379)

Showa-era standing kagami with carved floral storage base

This tall vintage Japanese mirror combines the clean vertical lines of mid-Showa design with the warmth of a richly textured wooden base. The slim rectangular glass is framed in a dark lacquer-tone surround and supported by a simple easel back, evoking the understated elegance of a traditional kagami while remaining perfectly suited to contemporary interiors.

Beneath the mirror sits a compact chest with two drawers, ideal for storing cosmetics, accessories, or small garments. The exterior is finished in a repeating hand-chiseled pattern, with a bold relief carving of a peony blossom on the lower drawer front—a classic Japanese motif symbolizing prosperity and beauty, and a refined decorative focal point when used in an entryway, bedroom, or dressing corner.

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.
