Tiny, Ambivalent Storage Drawers from Japan

There’s a craftsman in Japan going by the handle Conocoto (I looked it up, it’s a town in Peru) who makes these tiny, ambivalent storage drawers.

They’re designed to hold “nothing particularly,” he writes on his Japanese-language blog. “Please store your favorite things like toothpicks and stamps.”

Although the jewelry in this photo gives a good indication of the diminutive scale he works in…

…he’s also made at least one unit large enough to hold a kitten.

He sells them for a measly ¥1,000 - ¥3,000 (about $9 - $28 USD) on a website called Creema, which appears to be a Japanese version of Etsy.
