Vintage Japanese Wooden Oke Bucket w/Screen
This is a handmade traditional Japanese lidded wooden bucket made for storing water, rice, or other food product. It is also commonly used for making pickles. Stout, sturdy, and a dark brown color, it is made from precisely cut slats of wood held together by two flat twisted iron metal bands via tension. It comes with a screen piece that could have been used for sifting/filtering or an extra barrier to keep insects and debris out while in use.
