A medium sized Japanese calligraphy box from the late 1800's. These boxes will have been common place in Japan at the time. They were used to hold writing implements, specifically calligraphy pens, and ink.
This box is a great piece, the wood is in great condition. The hinges and latch are made out of leather, the original leather, which is a lovely touch. When you open the box you will see old writing on the bottom and the underneath of the lid, a really authentic piece.
Due to its age it has wear and tear but this only adds to its antique look.
A fab piece of history to have in the home.
