Vintage Japan Hand-Carved Art Wooden Box – Signed, Natural Wood, Urushi Finish

A high-quality vintage Japanese wooden box featuring a hand-carved orchid design signed by Ippō (一峯) with the natural wood grain, a labor-intensive urushi finish, and detailed carving. The craftsmanship reflects the time and care the artisan put into this piece, making it feel both personal and warm. Beautiful as decor and also practical for storing letters or small items. - Origin: Kagawa, Japan - Size (approx.): Outer box: 11 in × 8 in × 2.5 in, Inner storage space: 10 in × 7 in × 1.5 in - Estimated era: Likely 1970s–1980s based on the style of the labels - Condition: Great vintage condition. Some small marks consistent with long-term storage. Please check the pictures and confirm the condition before purchasing. Background: These were part of my grandmother’s collection in Japan. She spent decades finding well-made pieces, many of which are now vintage. I’ve kept many of them, but I’m running out of space, so I hope to find them a new home where they’ll be appreciated.
