Antique Japanese Three Section Kimono Tansu Chest With Hikido, Kiri-mon Hardware On Kannon Door And Multi-sized Drawers - 1920s Taisho Era (25D-A457)

Antique Japanese Three Section Kimono Tansu Chest With Hikido Mon Hardware On Kannon Door And Multi Sized Drawers, Kiri (SKU 25D-A457)

Taishō-era three-section kimono tansu with kiri-mon inspired hardware and beautifully balanced multi-sized storage.

This classic three-section kimono tansu was crafted in Japan in the early 20th century, designed for storing folded kimono and obi in an elegant yet highly practical form. The clean vertical grain, softly chamfered paneling, and restrained metalwork give the chest a refined Taishō presence, while the central kannon-biraki doors with pierced kiri-mon style hardware provide a distinctive focal point.

Behind the sliding hikidō doors and swing-out cupboard, a thoughtfully arranged interior offers shelves and compartments for garments and accessories, complemented by multi-sized drawers below and across the midsection. Original iron pulls, corner plates, and a working key complete this versatile tansu, which separates into three stacking units for easier transport and flexible display in both traditional and contemporary interiors.
