I would say japanese... they did loads of inlay stuff like this.. many screens and cabinets the same... Like shibayama but only a couple of materials used (ebonized wood and bone/ivory)

Thanks, After a bit of research, I think it is Cha Tansu, One interesting thing is they do not use metal hinge on door, but us the traditional method, so I guess this one is not a recent piece...
