Antique Japanese Kimono Chest — 1920s, Taisho Era (SKU: 25M-A306)

Gracefully Preserving Garments and Generations

With its gentle curves and minimalist elegance, this antique kimono tansu speaks softly of the Taisho era—a time when Japan embraced modernism while preserving its traditional soul. Once nestled in a serene home, this chest stored precious silk kimonos, its drawers opening with ease as if still remembering the rustle of fabrics and daily rituals of dressing with care.

Crafted from fine kiri (paulownia) wood and accented with simple iron hardware, its design is quietly luxurious. The balanced symmetry of its drawers reflects a harmonious lifestyle, where beauty was not separated from function but blended into everyday life.
