Cabinets of this simple and elegant form were used for the storage of clothes or scholar's objects, including long scrolls, which could easily be placed on the shelves by way of the removable central stile. They were manufactured from the Ming dynasty onwards. A typical feature of cabinets of this form is to use the two doors to display the natural beauty and grain of the wood. Compare a jichimu example illustrated by Tian Jiaqing, Chinese Classical Furniture of the Qing Dynasty, Hong Kong, 1995, fig.103.
