Description

This is an antique Japanese wooden tabako-bon (smoking box), dating from the Meiji to the early Showa period. It is crafted from Keyaki (Zelkova) wood and comes with a metal ash receptacle (hiire) and a bamboo tube (haifuki).

The smoking box is slightly larger in size and features a thick wooden construction that highlights the prominent natural grain of the Zelkova wood. The top surface has two circular openings designed to securely hold the cylindrical bamboo tube and the metal brazier. The metal brazier originally features two copper carrying handles.

Height: 19.5 cm / 7.67 in
Width: 41.5 cm / 16.33 in
Depth: 28.0 cm / 11.02 in
Weight: 6900 g / 15.21 lbs

The item is in antique condition, showing signs of aging and historical use. There are surface scratches, scuffs, water spots, and natural wear to the wood and bamboo. One of the two copper carrying handles on the metal ash receptacle is detached. It still functions with the remaining handle, but reattaching the detached one requires repair and a very small round screw. The metal parts exhibit surface oxidation, discoloration, and tarnishing.

Please check the photos carefully for details.
