Antique Japanese Three Section Kimono Tansu Chest With Kiri-mon Sukashi-bori And Warabite Pull Kanagu Hardware - 1920s Taisho Era (25D-A404)

Antique Japanese Three Section Kimono Tansu Chest With Mon Sukashi Bori And Warabite Pull Kanagu Hardware, Kiri, 1920s (SKU 25D-A404)

Elegant Taishō-era three-section kimono tansu with kiri mon sukashi-bori lock plates and classic warabite pull kanagu

This refined three-section isho dansu was designed for storing folded kimono and personal garments, combining generous capacity with a clean, architectural silhouette. The upper cabinet opens to reveal full-width sliding trays, ideal for laying textiles flat, while the lower section offers deep drawers for everyday clothing and accessories.

Delicate ironwork provides a striking contrast to the warm timber: pierced kiri mon sukashi-bori lock plates adorn the doors, and graceful warabite pull kanagu accent each drawer. Subtle corner miters, well-fitted joinery and an even, honey-toned finish speak to careful Taishō-period craftsmanship, making this piece equally suited to traditional Japanese interiors and modern minimalist spaces.
