This is an vintage Japanese 2 section wedding kimono chest called Kannon Biraki tansu that features double hinged doors on the upper section from mid.1900's.
It was constructed entirely out of Paulownia wood (known in Japan as Kirinoki).
These chests were often given as part of a bride's dowry where she could safely store her wedding kimono to cherish for years to come. The center lockplate is decorated with family crest of Kiri, paulownia.
It would make a wonderful clothes dresser or storage unit for any home or bedroom with the added versatility of separating the sections for different rooms of the house.
