Japanese Style Mizuya Kitchen Chest Custom-Order Reference

Japanese Style Mizuya Kitchen Chest

This custom-order reference example is a Japanese tansu style mizuya kitchen chest and is shown here for inspiration rather than purchase. A mizuya is a Japanese kitchen storage cabinet, and this piece combines upper sliding lattice doors, middle compartment doors, drawers, and lower cabinet storage in one tall case.

Overview

Documented measurements for this piece are 52”W x 24”D x 84”H. The custom-order specifications list elm wood with a cherry finish. The overall design follows Japanese tansu-inspired cabinetry, with a strong rectilinear form, dark metal drawer pulls, and multiple storage zones suited to kitchen or dining use.

Design Details

The upper section features a bank of sliding doors with narrow vertical lattice panels, while the center section uses larger lattice-front doors. Below, a row of small drawers provides compact storage, and the lower section includes two larger cabinet doors above a final row of drawers. This tiered arrangement is characteristic of a mizuya form, created to separate and organize different household contents within a single cabinet.
