Vintage Japanese Kamakura Carving Mirror - 1960s Showa Era (25D-249)

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.
