An antique Japanese Yosegi Ko Tansu (marquetry small chest) from the Hakone region made of various natural colored woods with Kusunoki (Camphor), Katsura (Fir), and Suginoki (Cryptomeria) structure and drawer backs. Blue velvet lined drawers. Beautiful craftsmanship is evident in the unique one-of-a-kind design of this piece.

The final result is a beautiful work of art that epitomizes Wabisabi (the art of understated elegance). less
