Antique Japanese Ko Tansu with Sliding Door — 1920s, Taisho Era
A Whisper of Tradition from Japan’s Graceful Taisho Period

This antique Japanese tea chest from the 1920s Taisho Era embodies the elegance and intentionality of traditional Japanese tea culture. With its compact frame and harmonious proportions, this piece was once used to house tea utensils and sacred vessels — and today, it brings that same sense of mindfulness and order into the modern home.

Crafted from rich hardwood with a beautifully figured grain, the chest features a spacious shelf, two smooth-gliding drawers, and a sliding cabinet door with eye-catching burl wood grain. Delicate side handles and carved cutouts add thoughtful details that are both aesthetic and functional. Whether used as a tokonoma (alcove) accent, altar stand, or side table, this chest radiates a serene, contemplative charm.

Its warm, natural tones and flowing wood patterns make it a versatile companion to both rustic and contemporary interiors — a piece that doesn’t shout for attention but quietly transforms the space it inhabits.
