Vintage Japanese Sawing Box, Wood, 1940s, Showa Era (SKU 25S-723-1)

Showa-era Japanese wooden sawing box with rich grain and multiple drawers

This compact vintage sashiko-bako style chest is crafted from beautifully figured wood, its front and top displaying a dramatic tiger-grain pattern that glows under a warm lacquer finish. Designed as a practical sawing or sewing box, it offers an elegant glimpse into everyday life in mid-20th-century Japan while functioning perfectly as a modern storage piece.

Five front drawers of varying sizes, together with a lift-out tray concealed beneath the hinged top, provide organized space for tools, sewing notions, or stationery. Simple metal pulls and clean rectilinear lines give this Showa-era tansu a timeless presence, ideal for adding authentic Japanese character to a desk, studio, or entryway.
