Vtg. Japanese 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 lidded rectangular box is likely made for a pottery bowl, but is perfect for storing trinkets or use for display or other crafts/projects. It also contains a flat brown and white cord for stylishly tying the box shut.
