Vintage Japanese Wooden Lidded 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, and even food. 

This is a vintage Japanese lidded wooden box perhaps made to store a tiered bento box or vase. The lid slides down the front and secures flush with the rest of the box. It is excellent for general storage, DIY, or decoration.
