Antique Japanese Kyodai Mirror - 1920s Taisho Era (25D-347)
Antique Japanese Kyodai Mirror (SKU 25D-347)
Taishō-era Japanese dressing mirror with richly figured wood and multiple storage drawers
This elegant kyōdai (dressing stand) showcases the refined craftsmanship of early 20th-century Japan. The tilting rectangular mirror rises from a compact chest of drawers, its frame and base finished in a lustrous warm-brown tone that highlights the dramatic, rippling grain of the wood. A carved bamboo motif beneath the mirror adds a subtle decorative accent, evoking traditional Japanese aesthetics of nature and simplicity.
Below, a well-planned arrangement of small and large drawers offers practical storage for cosmetics, hair accessories, or treasured keepsakes, each fitted with understated metal pulls. The piece retains a clean, gently aged surface with attractive patina, making it an inviting focal point for a bedroom, entryway, or boutique display while preserving the quiet charm of Taishō-era daily life.

A refined yet practical accent piece that brings authentic Taishō-era character to contemporary interiors.
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.
