Japanese chest, generally speaking piece of furniture for a storage purpose by one of our craftsmen-suppliers.
The glossy black & red finish (mirror effect), is probably the best representation of Japanese lacquer.

Each drawer is adjusted individually to allow maximum air tightness (important in Japan where humidity is high, to protect precious kimonokimono
Traditional Japanese clothing).
