Antique Japanese Kimono Chest — 1920s, Taisho Era (SKU: 25M-A310)
Whispers of Silk and Seasons Past

Once nestled in a serene Japanese home during the Taisho period, this elegant isho-tansu (kimono chest) stored layers of tradition—silken kimonos folded with care, ready for celebrations or quiet rituals. Its upper cabinet, with symmetrical bifold doors and intricate cutout detailing, opens like a ceremonial fan, revealing a space meant for garments of honor.

Crafted in light keyaki wood, its natural tone brings warmth and clarity to any room. Smooth-grain panels, original iron hardware, and the refined geometry of the drawers echo a balanced life rooted in respect and beauty. More than just storage, it invites you to participate in the peaceful rhythm of daily life in a traditional Japanese home.
