Description

Vintage Japanese Kamakura Carved Cha Tansu Tea Chest With Hikido And Distinctive Mokko Kanagu Hardware, Glass (SKU 25D-C411)

Showa-era cha tansu with rich Kamakura-bori carving, glass hikido, and elegant mokko kanagu fittings.

This vintage Japanese cha tansu brings together the warmth of a traditional tearoom and the refinement of Kamakura-bori carving. The cabinet is finished in a deep red-brown lacquer over a hand-chiseled ground, with bold peony and seasonal foliage motifs carved in relief across the lower sliding doors, set against a distinctive honeycomb texture that catches the light beautifully.

Above, staggered shelves and small compartments frame a central display area backed with flecked paper, ideal for chadogu or treasured ceramics. Glass hikido doors, multiple drawers, and a spacious lower storage bay offer practical organization, while the softly contoured mokko kanagu hardware and metal drawer pulls add a refined, period-appropriate accent that completes this striking Showa-era tea chest.

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.
