Antique Japanese Three Section Kimono Tansu Chest With Distinctive Floral Kanagu Hardware And Multi-sized Drawers - 1920s Taisho Era (25D-A411)

Antique Japanese Three Section Kimono Tansu Chest With Distinctive Floral Kanagu Hardware And Multi Sized Drawers (SKU 25D-A411)

Taishō-era three-section kimono tansu with refined floral kanagu and beautifully balanced storage.

This elegant three-section isho dansu (kimono chest) exemplifies early 20th-century Japanese craftsmanship, with clean architectural lines and warm, straight-grain panels. Designed to be stacked for ease of transport, each section locks neatly into the next, creating a tall, dignified presence ideal for storing garments, textiles, or modern household essentials.

Behind the sliding doors and hinged cupboards, a thoughtful arrangement of shelves, interior tray, and multi-sized drawers offers highly functional organization. The chest is unified by its original iron and brass kanagu, including chrysanthemum-inspired lock plates and delicate floral pulls that add a subtle decorative note without disturbing the tansu’s minimalist aesthetic.
