Herbal medicine dates back 3,000 years to its origins in China and has been used in Korea for more than 2,000 years. A Korean physician would arrive at the home of the ill carrying a medicine box much like this one. The small case opened to many drawers containing the most commonly used herbal medicines for treating general illnesses as well as those more emergent.

The advantage of this pharmacy was off course that it could be taken along. The shape and design has been adapted to nowadays use, so this special decoration item can easily be combined with western interior.

The medicine chest has decorative brass fittings and a brass carry handle. Its modern applications are seemingly endless: a spice trunk, desk organizer, notions organizer or jewelry box, to name a few. An extraordinary gift!

Janggo or janggu (hourglass drum): According to existing documents, the jeongak janggo has been used since the Goryeo Dynasty. It has a wooden body and is widely used in both Chinese and native music. Samulnori is traditional instrumental music that has won international acclaim. The term Samul means "four" while Nori means to "play" or "perform;" hence the name Samulnori signifies a performance using four instruments, namely, small and large gongs made of bronze and leather, and double-headed hourglass and barrel drums. Listen to a performance at Youtube:

Celadon vase are appreciated as gift items looking very beautiful on top of a traditional Korean medicine chest or as displayed here on a Japanese Tansu. To present an Ikebana a celadon vase is most suitable to display the art of Japanese flower arrangement.

A Mirror box (Vanity) is on display as well. Dressing tables were often used in old Japan. They must have had an important meaning in the life of women. They were used to store combs, hairpins, powder and valuable oils. The mirror can be folded and disappears entirely into the box.
