Description

Antique Japanese Three Section Kimono Tansu Chest With Floral Karakusa Hardware Hikido Multi Sized Drawers, 1920s (SKU 25D-A431)

Taishō-era three-section kimono tansu with floral karakusa hardware and sliding hikido doors

This elegant three-section isho-dansu was crafted to store kimono and personal garments, its tall, refined form showcasing straight grain timbers and beautifully patinated ironwork. The upper case features a pair of framed hikido sliding doors above a row of three small drawers, while the two lower sections offer wide, full-width drawers ideal for folded textiles or linens.

Delicately cast pulls with a floral karakusa scroll motif, iron side braces, and lock escutcheons provide a subtle decorative contrast to the warm natural wood. The three-part stacking construction, typical of kimono tansu, allows for easier moving and flexible display, making this piece a functional statement for a bedroom, dressing room, or entryway in both traditional and modern interiors.

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.
