Vintage Japanese Kamakura Carving Mirror, Showa Era (SKU 25D-249)

Showa-era standing mirror with carved peony and mountain motif

This elegant vintage tachi-kagami (free-standing dressing mirror) combines the clean vertical lines of mid-Showa design with richly textured hand-carved woodwork. The dark stained frame rises from a solid footed base, giving the tall rectangular mirror a poised, architectural presence ideal for a bedroom, entryway, or dressing area.

At the base, a deep relief carving depicts a bold peony blossom set against stylized mountains, framed by a subtle nunome-style hammered texture that catches the light across the surface. The warm reddish-brown finish and crisp chisel marks highlight the craftsmanship typical of 1960s Showa-era furniture, making this piece a refined accent that bridges traditional Japanese aesthetics with a minimalist, modern interior.

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.
