Antique Japanese Kimono Chest — 1920s, Taisho Era (SKU: 25M-A324)
A Refined Vessel of Memory and Grace

This antique Japanese kimono tansu from the Taisho era is a masterwork of understated beauty and everyday functionality. Composed of two perfectly aligned stacking sections, the chest features five full-width drawers—each whispering of folded silks, handwritten letters, and the timeless rhythm of seasonal change in a traditional Japanese household.

The clean lines and symmetrical layout, combined with subtle iron hardware, reflect the elegant practicality of its time. Whether used to store modern linens or displayed as a focal point of curated interiors, this tansu offers both utility and poetic presence in equal measure.
