This sewing box is a classy antique item made using traditional Japanese chestnut wood. The beautiful grain and deep color unique to chestnut wood change tastefully over time, and the well-used texture reveals the weight of history.

Each drawer is the perfect size to organize and store sewing tools such as spools, needles, buttons, small fabric scraps, etc. The robustness of the chestnut wood allows it to withstand years of use, and the metal fittings are carefully finished to reflect the craftsmanship of the time.
