I have never seen a toolbox like this before. This is interesting. Why is this called a Japanese tool box I wonder? It looks like a Dynamite box to me?

I like it; they look like they would stack well too. It would be a great way to organize the shop.

Rivergirl- it’s called a Japanese style tool box because the design of the box and its closing lid is a traditional japanese tool box design! I lifted this reference from this site which shows how to make one in pictures :
See “Japanese Woodworking Tools: Their Tradition, Spirit, and Use” by Toshio Odate, Linden Publishing 1998. Page 10-11 talks about the design of a typical Japanese toolbox.

Nice Toolbox & thanks for the link. Daiku Dojo is a really interesting site & has lots of ideas for projects.

-- I'm not old. Just "well seasoned".

Wauuuu, what a beauty you made.
The Japanese have a sence for the detail, and simplicity we can learn a lot from,
Best thoughts,
