A storage cabinet with upper and lower double doors, combining glass and solid wood panels. It is crafted as a single piece, likely using hard and substantial cherry wood.

The glass is original to the piece. It contains air bubbles and shows significant rippling.

Its charm lies in the calm texture and deepened color that has developed with age.

Originally, the doors had no handles or knobs; they were designed to be opened by pulling the door after unlocking it. Unfortunately, the original key was lost, so a new one has been made. The base for this new key is an antique key. Turning the key produces a satisfying click. Please note that there is no spare key, so be careful not to lose it.

The doors are secured by latches on the upper and lower left sides.
After unlocking the door, lower the top latch and raise the bottom latch to open it. To close, reverse the action. Both the top and bottom operate with the same mechanism.
It's a slightly intricate structure, but those who appreciate this cabinet might enjoy the ritual of its operation.

Here's a view of the lower storage compartment. The lower section offers both height and strength, making it suitable for storing art books, photo albums, and large format portfolios.

While the overall form is streamlined, the legs feature subtle decoration.
This understated design evokes a sense of distinctly Japanese aesthetic sensibility.

The main frame is constructed using a "kento-dome" (mitered dovetail) joint.
This joint results in neat corners, making it look beautiful from any angle.
Such fine details reflect the meticulous craftsmanship of that era.
