Vintage Japanese Small Drawer, Taisho Era (SKU 25D-086-2)

A compact three-drawer ko-bako crafted from solid sugi (Japanese cedar), dating to the Taishō period (c. 1912–1926). The drawers are slightly recessed within the front frame, a subtle construction detail that adds depth and a restrained architectural presence. Original iron ring pulls, visible hand-tool marks, and a warm, time-softened patina reflect honest everyday use.

Traditionally used for personal storage, documents, or valuables, this piece works well today as a bedside cabinet, desktop organizer, or accent storage. Clean, understated, and proportionally balanced—an authentic example of early 20th-century Japanese utility furniture.

  • Origin: Japan
  • Era: Taisho period
  • Material: Solid sugi wood with iron hardware
  • Use: Small tansu / ko-bako for desktop or shelf storage
  • Features: Three drawers; iron ring pulls; warm aged patina; visible grain and tool marks; compact vintage Japanese design
  • Dimensions: 7 1/2"W x 11"D x 11"H
  • Condition: Very good vintage condition with age-appropriate wear and surface marks

A characterful little chest that brings the quiet presence of a Showa-era Japanese home to your desk or display.

 

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.
