Description

This is a vintage Japanese Haribako,sewing box from Taisho period (1910's-1920's). It is made of Japanese Ash (Tamo / Toneriko),Horse Chestnuts (Tochinoki),Paulownia (Kirinoki) and other woods. The compact size and combination of drawers makes this piece a great addition to any room decor. It also makes a wonderful jewelry box or a convenient chest to store small work items or accessories.

The original purpose of the Haribako was to store pins, needles, spools of thread, thimbles, a pin cushion and swatches of fabric for a seamtress or housewife.  It sometimes comes with secret drawer which was used to store the cash collected by a seamtress or as a way for a housewife to keep money for a rainy day safely hidden.
