Description

Antique Japanese Kimono Tansu Chest With Large Kannon Biraki Door (SKU 25D-A415)

Taishō-era kimono tansu with impressive kannon biraki doors and generous interior trays.

This handsome antique kimono tansu exemplifies early 20th-century Japanese cabinetry, combining clean architectural lines with practical storage. The upper section features large kannon biraki (double doors) that open to reveal a bank of shallow pull-out trays, ideal for carefully laying kimono, obi, or textiles flat to prevent creasing.

Below, three full-width drawers with simple iron warabite-style pulls offer ample space for folded garments or linens, while understated forged hardware and corner plates provide subtle contrast to the warm, straight-grained kiri wood. With its quiet Taishō modern aesthetic and highly functional interior, this kimono tansu transitions effortlessly from traditional Japanese interiors to contemporary spaces as a refined wardrobe or linen cabinet.

As part of our mission to preserve and share Japanese craftsmanship, we offer antiques that were made not just to be admired, but to be used. These pieces were crafted for everyday life, and we honor their purpose by ensuring they can continue to be enjoyed and lived with today.

We use professional studio lighting to highlight the natural character of the wood. As a result, the tone may appear slightly warmer than under natural daylight.

All vintage and antique items are sold as-is. Each piece may exhibit signs of age, including scratches, wear, or minor imperfections. These are not considered defects but natural evidence of the item’s authenticity and age.
