Old handmade insect cage

This is a handmade wooden insect cage, likely from the early Showa period. It's probably a firefly cage. I previously listed a tin one, but this piece is also of high quality.

Following the example of museum asitis, I displayed it in the corner of a bay window, enjoying how the light shone through.

You can feel the affection for good old tools that you don't get from industrial products.

The mesh part is rusted overall, and the tape is frayed in places, but since few people would use it as an actual insect cage, it is in a condition that is not lacking for decorative purposes.

There are faint traces of children's graffiti on the back.
