Antique Japanese Ko Tansu Compact Chest — 1920s, Taisho Era (SKU: 25M-G331)

Quiet Elegance in Every Drawer

Delicately proportioned and deeply evocative, this Taisho-era tansu reflects the heart of Japanese domestic life in the early 20th century. Crafted to serve without show, it likely stood in a merchant’s home, its drawers cradling important items with quiet dignity.
