Description

Antique Japanese Three Section Kimono Tansu Chest With Mon Hardware On Large Kannon Biraki Door And Drawers, Kiri (SKU 25D-A427)

Elegant Taishō-era three-section kimono tansu with kiri-mon hardware and large kannon-biraki door for refined textile storage.

This antique Japanese kimono tansu is a classic three-section chest (nidan tansu) designed for organizing folded kimono and obi. The warm, honey-toned casework is accented by dark iron fittings, including pierced drawer pulls and circular plates that evoke the stylized kiri-mon crest, giving the piece a quiet yet formal presence suited to both traditional and contemporary interiors.

The upper section features a large kannon-biraki door and sliding panel compartment above small accessory drawers, while the lower section offers a generous bank of full-width drawers for garments and linens. Side-mounted carry handles and stacking hardware confirm its original modular design, allowing the chest to be separated for transport or reconfigured in a modern home as a statement storage piece.

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.
