Vintage Japanese Small Drawer (SKU 25D-234)

Compact Showa-era tansu-style drawer chest with understated metal pulls

This vintage Japanese small drawer unit evokes the clean, functional aesthetic of mid-Showa interiors. The warm, straight-grained wood is finished in a soft brown tone that highlights its natural texture, while the low profile makes it ideal for use on a desk, shelf, or atop a larger tansu. Simple lines and careful joinery give it a quiet presence that blends easily with both traditional and modern spaces.

Each drawer is fitted with a slim metal handle, subtly decorated with incised details typical of everyday Showa-era furniture. Designed for organizing writing tools, documents, or small accessories, this piece offers practical storage with the charm of an authentic Japanese vintage drawer chest, perfect for collectors and for adding a touch of shibui character to any room.

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.
