Description

Vintage Japanese Haribako Sewing Box, Showa Era (SKU 25D-462-2)

Showa-era wooden Haribako with rich dark finish and metal pulls

This compact vintage Japanese chest of drawers, or sewing box, reflects the streamlined aesthetics of mid-Showa interiors. Crafted in solid wood with a deep reddish-brown stain, it features softly rounded front edges and a low, stable plinth base, giving it a modest yet quietly refined presence on a desk, tansu, or dresser top.

Five staggered drawers of varying sizes provide practical storage for stationery, accessories, sewing notions, or tea utensils, each fitted with simple metal handles typical of 1940s–1950s Showa-era design. The surface shows gentle wear, small scuffs, and patina consistent with age and daily use, enhancing its character while preserving its functionality as a charming, usable vintage piece.

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.
