Antique Japanese Small Drawer (SKU 25D-346)

Compact Taisho-era style ko-dansu cabinet with double doors and lower drawer

This charming small chest recalls the practical beauty of a traditional Japanese ko-dansu, or personal storage cabinet. The warm, medium-brown wood grain is framed by darker stained borders, giving the front doors a refined, panelled appearance that feels both rustic and architectural. Iron side pulls and hinges add a subtle industrial accent while remaining true to classic tansu hardware.

Behind the twin hinged doors is a simple open compartment for everyday items, with a full-width drawer below for documents, textiles, or tea ware. Its modest scale makes it ideal atop a desk, sideboard, or in a modern entryway, where it can serve as a handsome organizer while introducing authentic Japanese vintage character to the space.

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.
