Description

Antique Japanese Kimono Chest (Isho Tansu) — 1920s, Taisho Era (SKU A336)
Where Elegance Dwells and Time Gathers Quietly

Crafted in the Taisho era, this beautiful Japanese Isho Tansu embodies both simplicity and refinement — a storage chest that once safeguarded the garments and treasures of daily life in an old Japanese household. With its commanding form and balanced proportions, this piece whispers of calm mornings, freshly folded kimono, and the graceful rhythms of traditional living.

Fashioned from kiri (paulownia) wood — known for its lightness, durability, and natural insect-repelling qualities — this two-section tansu features a beautifully paneled cabinet top secured by aged brass fittings, resting atop three generously sized drawers. Each drawer glides with ease, adorned with iron pulls and keyholes, evoking a time when function was artfully bound to form. The golden tones of the wood grain retain a warm and dignified glow, hinting at decades of tender use.
