Taishō-era three-section kimono tansu with elegant kannon biraki doors and beautifully balanced storage.

This antique Japanese kimono tansu is a classic three-section chest, designed for graceful storage of folded kimono and obi. The upper case features refined kannon biraki (double-opening) doors that reveal wide interior shelves, while the lower sections offer deep drawers for garments and bedding, all unified by a warm, even-toned finish and understated metalwork.

Multi-sized drawers across the middle tier provide organized space for accessories and smaller textiles, their simple iron pulls and lock escutcheons adding a quiet Taishō-period charm. Corner and side fittings emphasize the modular construction typical of traditional tansu, making this piece both a functional wardrobe and an authentic statement of early 20th-century Japanese design.
