A striking example of a traditional Japanese zenibako—a secure money box crafted from richly patinated wood and reinforced with iron rivets and hardware. The box features a hinged lid with a circular coin slot and a separate locking compartment, suggesting its use for storing and safeguarding currency or valuables. The aged surface and robust fittings speak to decades of practical use, while the interior reveals a painted panel depicting a figure in motion, adding a touch of mystery and artistry. A rare and evocative piece that blends utility, folk craftsmanship, and cultural heritage.
