VINTAGE CHOKIN BOXES

The technique of Chokin dates to the late 12^th century when it became fashionable for Samurai to wear armor and weapons decorated with gilt engraving.  These trinket boxes are classic examples of the mid-20^th century style, when Chokin became a popular motif for home décor and accessory items such as ladies’ compacts.
