Antique Japanese ‘haribako,’ Sewing Boxes, are charming and practical pieces of traditional craftsmanship. Despite its small size, the sewing box is ingeniously designed to contain all the essential tools and materials for sewing, such as needles, thread, thimbles, and scissors. Its compartments and drawers are thoughtfully arranged to maximise storage space, while maintaining a tidy and organized appearance.
Beyond its practical utility, the sewing box is also a testament to Japanese aesthetic sensibilities, featuring intricate decorations, delicate patterns, or understated elegance, which is a characteristic of traditional Japanese craftsmanship. Each sewing box is a unique work of art that adds a touch of beauty to its surroundings.
This Antique Japanese sewing box has a beautiful glossy vermilion (light reddish-brown) colour.
It has added charm and character over time. The wear and tear contribute to its authenticity and tells a story of its history, harmonising well with the aged angular metal fittings.
It has 5 separate compartments, which are suitable for organising small items and valuables.
