Vintage Japanese Small Drawer, 1930s, Showa Era (SKU 25D-051)

Compact three-drawer Japanese tansu chest with warm Showa-era character.

This vintage Japanese small drawer chest is a clean-lined, practical example of Showa-period cabinetry. The case is built in the understated tansu tradition, with straight edges, a softly glowing natural finish, and a horizontal grain that highlights the warmth of the wood. Three full-width drawers provide generous storage while keeping a compact footprint suitable for modern interiors.

Simple black iron warabite-style pulls and a single lock escutcheon on the lower drawer add subtle contrast and a distinctly Japanese silhouette. The interiors are left light and natural, revealing the solid wood construction and careful joinery. Ideal as a bedside chest, under-desk storage, or as part of a modular tansu stack, this piece brings authentic vintage Japanese charm to everyday organization.

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.
