Description

Antique Japanese Ko-Tansu (Small Chest) — 1920s, Taisho Era (SKU: 25M-G316)

A Map of Memories in Drawers and Woodgrain

This charming ko-tansu captures the artistry of compact Japanese storage chests in the Taisho period. Its nine drawers of varying size, fitted with traditional iron pulls and decorative lockplates, suggest a life of collecting—perhaps tools, writing instruments, or cherished objects handed down through generations.

Its low profile and warm finish make it a versatile accent piece for any modern home. Each drawer whispers with the potential of what it once held and what it might yet carry—like a poem carved into wood and iron.

  • Origin: Japan

  • Era: 1920s, Taisho Era

  • Material: Kirinoki (paulownia)

Like a collection of thoughts in a drawer, this ko-tansu is a meditation in wood.

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.
