Kamakura-bori is a traditional Japanese craft that developed from the carving of Buddhist Buddhist objects in Zen temples during the Kamakura period. It is characterized by the technique of carving patterns into the wood and applying multiple layers of lacquer, giving it a deep reddish-brown luster and three-dimensional sculptural beauty. This is an expensive item designed as a vanity table, and is a masterpiece that combines practicality and artistry.

There is a drawer under the mirror surface where you can store small items, making it a functional design suitable for everyday use. The color and luster of the lacquer, which has deepened over time, gives it the unique flavor of a well-used tool.
