It originates from Japan, from the Taish\u014d period, around 1920, where willow was hand-plaited for storing and carrying clothing.<\/p>\n<p>In the Japanese home, the k\u014dri (\u884c\u674e) was the everyday storage trunk: it held and carried kimono and textiles, protected by a light, breathable weave. Willow trunks, the yanagi-g\u014dri, were made in great numbers around Toyooka and often came in nesting pairs.<\/p>\n<p>Body and lid are plaited with willow rods over a wooden frame, in a tight weave that gives the whole its rigidity. The edges and corners are reinforced with sewn cloth bands and leather appliqu\u00e9s, which frame the weave and protect the angles. All the work is by hand.<\/p>\n<p>The willow has taken a warm honey-coloured patina, lighter on the faces and darker on the reinforcements with use. The cloth keeps its aged tone and the weave shows wear and some loss consistent with age, in a whole that reads as lived-in material.<\/p>\n<p>As a decorative object, it works as open storage, a low side table or a piece at the foot of the bed. It fits wabi-sabi, japandi, contemporary rustic and Japanese-feeling interiors, where it brings natural texture and a sense of travel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Details<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Dimensions:<\/strong> Length 76 cm &#8211; Width 45 cm &#8211; Height 25 cm<\/li>\n<li><strong>Style:<\/strong> Taish\u014d period<\/li>\n<li><strong>Materials and techniques:<\/strong> Plaited willow wicker; cloth and leather reinforcements; wooden frame.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Place of origin:<\/strong> Japan<\/li>\n<li><strong>Period:<\/strong> Taish\u014d period<\/li>\n<li><strong>Date of manufacture:<\/strong> Circa 1920<\/li>\n<li><strong>Condition:<\/strong> Good.
