Vintage Japanese Small Drawer (SKU 25D-212)

Compact Showa-era wooden tansu-style drawer chest with five metal-handled drawers.

This vintage Japanese small drawer chest evokes the understated utility of early 20th-century offices and studios. Crafted in solid wood with a deep, warm stain, it features five neatly stacked drawers, each fitted with a simple iron pull and label frame, echoing the functional beauty of traditional tansu cabinetry.

The drawer interiors retain a lighter natural finish, offering a pleasing contrast to the darker exterior and revealing the honest grain and age of the timber. Ideal as a desktop organizer, stationery chest, or for storing tools and craft supplies, this piece brings authentic Showa-period character to modern interiors while remaining highly practical.

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.
