Vintage Japanese Kamakura Style Small Drawer, Showa Era (SKU 25D-086-3)

Showa-era lacquered Kamakura-style chest with hand-carved peony motif

This compact Japanese drawer chest is finished in a deep, glossy kuro-urushi style lacquer with a warm vermilion underlayer that subtly glows through the hammered surface. The case and drawer fronts are covered in a repeated, hand-chiseled pattern that catches the light like fish scales, giving this vintage tansu-inspired piece a richly tactile presence despite its small footprint.

The front is adorned with a bold, carved and lacquered botan (peony) design that flows across the three drawer faces, unifying them into a single striking image. Ideal as a vintage Japanese jewelry box, stationery chest, or for organizing tea utensils and incense, it brings authentic Showa-era character to a tokonoma, desk, or bedside table while remaining highly practical for everyday storage.

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.
