Vintage Japanese Small Drawer, 1940s, Showa Era (SKU 25D-407-3)

Showa-era komono tansu with striking smoky grain and a compact, versatile form

A charming vintage Japanese storage piece with timeless character and everyday practicality.

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.
