Antique Japanese Kimono Chest — 1920s, Taisho Era
A Refined Harmony of Form, Function, and Tradition

Crafted during the elegant Taisho era (1920s), this antique Japanese kimono chest exemplifies quiet sophistication and purposeful design. Built from kirinoki (Paulownia wood), prized for its feather-light weight, resistance to humidity, and warm golden hue, this piece is as functional as it is beautiful.

The upper cabinet features symmetrical paneled doors, fitted with ornate metal hinges and a charming cutout lock plate, complete with the original key. Inside lies ample storage once reserved for folded kimono or delicate garments. Below, two spacious drawers offer generous space for linens, accessories, or daily use items, their smooth lines and original iron pulls evoking a minimalist grace.

Kirinoki’s fine grain and subtle sheen give this chest a natural luminosity, blending seamlessly into both traditional and modern interiors. Its clean structure and timeless craftsmanship make it a versatile addition to bedrooms, living spaces, or curated retail displays.
