Antique Japanese Three Section Kimono Tansu Chest With Hikido And Eight Multi-sized Warabite Pull Drawers - 1920s Taisho Era (25D-A483)

Antique Japanese Three Section Kimono Tansu Chest With Hikido And Eight Multi Sized Warabite Pull Drawers, 1920s (SKU 25D-A483)

Taishō-era three-section kimono tansu with hikido compartment and eight warabite-pull drawers

This elegant three-section kimono tansu embodies the refined simplicity of early 20th-century Japanese cabinetry. Crafted in warm-toned softwood with a straight, even grain, it features a balanced façade of sliding hikido doors above an array of multi-sized drawers, each fitted with classic iron warabite pulls. The tall, narrow profile and clean lines make it ideal for modern interiors while preserving its unmistakably Japanese character.

Designed for storing folded kimono and personal effects, the chest separates into three stacking sections for ease of transport, secured by side-mounted iron hardware. The interior shows beautiful natural wood, with smoothly operating drawers and a locking section complete with key, offering both display-worthy presence and practical storage for textiles, clothing, or household essentials.
