Description

This is a beautifully crafted vintage Japanese saisenbako (offering box or donation chest), traditionally used at temples or shrines to collect monetary offerings. Made from solid Keyaki (Japanese Zelkova) wood with a warm, aged patina, this piece features authentic iron hardware, including a heavy hinged lock plate secured with a vibrant red cloth knot—an aesthetic nod to traditional Japanese design and symbolism. The top showcases a tapered wooden funnel, guiding coins or bills into the box—a clever and functional design. Visible hand-forged nails and joinery techniques highlight the artisanal craftsmanship typical of vintage Japanese woodworking. Compact yet striking, this saisenbako makes for a unique decorative accent, conversation piece, or functional savings box in a modern setting.

6 1/4"W x 10 5/8"D x 9 1/4"H (7 1/4"H box portion Only)
