Description

This exquisite vintage Japanese mizuya tansu, dating back to the 1880s, is a classic example of Meiji-era design and functionality. The frame is skillfully crafted from honiki wood (Japanese cypress), renowned for its light yet durable qualities, while the drawer faces and door panels are made from striking keyaki wood (Japanese zelkova), celebrated for its vibrant grain and robust nature.

This tansu features a well-balanced arrangement of sliding doors, drawers, and open display areas. The Keyaki wood panels are richly grained, showcasing the artisan's attention to natural beauty. With its timeless aesthetics and practical storage, this piece was originally used in traditional Japanese kitchens to store and organize household essentials.

Today, it makes a versatile and functional storage piece for modern homes, lending character and history to any space. Whether used in a dining room, living room, or entryway, this mizuya tansu stands as a testament to Japanese craftsmanship and design sensibilities of the Meiji period.
