Taishō-era two-section kimono tansu with sukashi-bori kanagu and classic warabite pulls.

This elegant antique kimono tansu is crafted as a traditional two-section chest, designed for storing folded kimono and obi in a refined Japanese home. The upper case features a pair of framed Kannon-biraki doors that open wide to reveal sliding interior shelves, while the lower section houses two deep drawers fitted with understated warabite-style pulls for ample textile storage.

Warm, straight-grain wood panels are accented with dark iron fittings, including decorative sukashi-bori kanagu to the door lockplate and protective corner and side plates that emphasize its clean architectural lines. Resting on a low plinth base, this versatile chest brings authentic Taishō-period tansu craftsmanship into contemporary interiors as a bedroom wardrobe, linen cabinet, or living room storage piece.
