Japanese Shodana Cabinet SAI3957

An exceptional Japanese Shodana cabinet, masterfully crafted from dark hardwood and distinguished by its richly tiered composition of shelves, drawers, and display panels. Each surface is adorned with finely inlaid mother-of-pearl, depicting traditional scenes of Japanese life, figures in classical dress, birds in flight, and tranquil landscapes, all shimmering in delicate contrast against the deep, lustrous grain. Crowning the cabinet is a carved crest, evocative of a stylised fan or foliage motif, adding sculptural drama to its architectural form. Originally commissioned for elite households, these cabinets were designed to showcase treasured objects and are now highly prized for their artistry, craftsmanship, and cultural significance.
