The box it came in was battered from residing in some Japanese warehouse for over forty years. But I was happy to find it in the original packaging, no matter in what condition.
The slogan on the box states『使ってみると便利さがわかる』, which roughly means "very convenient to use".
In the early 1970s, Nintendo was producing many things besides toys. Most of these were aimed at households and offices: clocks, baby swings, photo copiers and candy floss machines, to name a few.
Nintendo Unirack (ユニラック) stems from 1972 and was one of these - short lived - attempts by Nintendo to break out in markets besides toys and games.
Unirack is a storage system that consisted of multiple elements that could be assembled freely to create an open closet of the desired size and shape.
The box I found contains one these elements.
