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.
