These steps were originally designed as an entrance or threshold step in a Japanese home or merchant property and signified the entry into the main house where guests should enter barefoot. Crafted from richly patinated keyaki (red elm \/ zelkova) wood with beautifully figured grain. The step was originally lacquered, remnants can be seen top of the step which would have been obscured by a ledge, hence less worn away. The surface has developed a warm, tactile finish through centuries of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSliding panel doors conceal generous internal storage compartments where guests could store their shoes. Its low horizontal profile lends itself perfectly to contemporary interiors, whether used in a hallway for shoe storage, as a media console, or as an architectural statement piece. The simplicity of the construction and the quiet beauty of the aged timber embody the refined utilitarianism associated with Japanese Edo period furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Edo Period (1603–1868) - Circa early 19th century (1820).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid keyaki wood (red elm \/ zelkova)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sliding Panel Doors, Internal Storage Compartments, Long Low Profile, Rich Natural Patina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Age-Related Wear Consistent With Centuries Of Use, Beautifully Aged Surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e W287 x D41 x H36 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BinderKing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53551130181941,"sku":"M1085","price":1987.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/5243\/2181\/files\/Antique_Japanese_Kamachi_Step.jpg?v=1789233160","url":"https:\/\/binderking.shop\/products\/antique-japanese-kamachi-step","provider":"BinderKing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
