Vintage Japanese Kamakura Carving Kyodai Mirror, Showa Era (SKU 25D-044-1)

Showa-era tansu-style standing mirror with carved floral lacquer base

This vintage Japanese mirror combines the clean vertical lines of mid-Showa design with the warmth of traditional lacquerwork. A tall rectangular glass plate rises from a compact storage base, recalling the slim silhouette of a modernist kyou-dai (dressing mirror) while remaining practical for everyday use in a bedroom, entryway, or boutique setting.

The base is finished in a deep, almost black red-brown lacquer, patterned with a repeating hexagonal motif and accented by a bold carved peony on the lower drawer front. Simple brass knobs and light wood drawer interiors add contrast, giving this piece the quiet presence of a small tansu chest and making it an elegant solution for storing cosmetics, accessories, or keys beneath a full-length reflective surface.

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.
