Vintage Japanese Mulberry Wood Ko-Hikidashi Small Chest with Hidden Secret Compartment 37cm

This is a stunning example of Ko-Hikidashi (traditional Japanese small chest), meticulously crafted from highly-prized Mulberry wood (Kuwa). Known in Japan for its lustrous finish, deep grain, and warm golden-brown hue, Mulberry wood is a luxury material that develops a beautiful patina over time.

This specific chest features an ingenious "Kakushi" (Hidden Secret). While it appears to be a standard six-drawer configuration, the upper-left, deepest drawer conceals a secondary "secret storage box" tucked away at the very back. This clever design, reminiscent of a "puzzle box," was traditionally used to hide family seals, precious jewelry, or important documents.

Key Features:

  • Luxury Mulberry Wood: The beautiful, swirling grain of the Kuwa wood is prominent across the front and top surfaces, reflecting high-quality Japanese craftsmanship.

  • Secret Compartment: The upper-left drawer has a hidden mechanism that allows you to reveal a secret inner box. Ideal for storing your most valued treasures.

  • Versatile Storage: Features five external drawers of varying sizes and one deep left-hand section with two internal drawers, providing ample space for jewelry, coins, stationery, or a desk organizer.

  • Traditional Metalwork: Adorned with classic Japanese metal drawer pulls and lock plates, contrasting beautifully with the rich wood tone.

Size (Approx.):

  • Width: 37.0 cm / 14.6 in

  • Depth: 27.0 cm / 10.6 in

  • Height: 29.5 cm / 11.6 in

  • Weight: 4.7 kg / 10.4 lbs

Condition: Excellent Vintage condition with authentic age-related character. The wood shows a wonderful natural luster and minor surface scuffs consistent with historical use. All drawers operate smoothly. The hidden compartment functions as intended. The base of the chest shows a visible natural age crack in the wood, a testament to its long history and seasoned state. Please carefully inspect the high-resolution photos to appreciate the beautiful wood grain and the secret mechanism.
