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

Showa-era three-drawer ko-bako with warm patina and iron ring pulls

This compact wooden chest embodies the understated charm of mid-20th-century Japanese storage furniture. Crafted in the manner of a small ko-bako or desktop tansu, it features three neatly stacked drawers framed by a simple case, the surfaces mellowed to a rich reddish-brown from decades of use.

Each drawer front is finished with horizontal grain and fitted with a forged iron ring pull, giving the piece a quiet, utilitarian elegance. The visible wear, tool marks, and small scratches across the facade speak to its life in a traditional home, making it ideal for storing stationery, tea utensils, or treasured keepsakes while adding authentic vintage character to any interior.

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.
