■ Regarding the dating of old furniture
Old furniture is collected from those remaining in Japan, repaired, etc., and put on display. Most items are acquired from private homes, so the exact year of production is often unknown. The age shown is an estimate based on the furniture's design, materials, place of origin and condition, and in some cases, inscriptions found on the furniture. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.
■ About the condition of old furniture
Most old furniture items are over 100 years old and may have some scratches or dents. While any clearly unusable parts, such as those with corrosion or missing hardware, are repaired by skilled craftsmen, other areas are left as intact as possible to preserve the original character of the piece. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.
