Japanese Lidded Wooden Storage Box
Wooden boxes are a common method of safely keeping and storing delicate pottery, vases, and other ceramic, clay, and glass items in Japan. In addition to pottery, they are also widely used for a plethora of other traditional Japanese crafts including kimono accessories, wrapping cloths, chopsticks, commemorative gifts, etc.
This vintage Japanese lidded rectangular box is made for a metal clothes iron, but is perfect for storing trinkets or use for display or other crafts/projects. It has two holes at the bottom to put a cord through for tying shut.
