Description

Vintage Japanese Kyodai Dressing Mirror, 1980s, Showa Era (SKU 25D-417-2)

Showa-era floor dressing mirror with integrated tansu-style storage

This vintage Japanese dressing mirror, or kyōdai, features a tall rectangular swing mirror rising from a low wooden base, creating an elegant vertical silhouette typical of early 20th-century design. The rich, dark finish highlights the straight grain of the timber, while the simple frame and exposed joinery give it a calm, architectural presence suited to both traditional and modern interiors.

Beneath the mirror, the base is crafted in a tansu-inspired style with a striking stepped pattern of drawer fronts, offering practical storage for accessories, cosmetics, or small garments. The mirror pivots on metal side posts for angle adjustment, and the broad top surface can serve as a compact vanity, making this Showa-era piece as functional today as when it was first used in a Japanese dressing room.

A refined Showa-era dressing mirror that brings authentic Japanese craftsmanship and everyday practicality to contemporary spaces.

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.
