Vintage Japanese Small Drawer, MId Showa Era (SKU 25D-218)

Compact Showa-era wooden tansu-style chest with five slim drawers and original metal pulls.

This vintage Japanese small drawer chest evokes the understated utility of mid-Showa interiors. Crafted from warm-toned hardwood with a simple rectilinear silhouette, it offers five neatly stacked drawers ideal for storing stationery, documents, or komono (small everyday items). The fine grain and mellow patina speak to decades of careful use, making it an easy piece to blend into both traditional and modern spaces.

Each drawer glides smoothly and is finished with original cast-metal handles featuring a subtle woven motif, a quiet nod to classic tansu hardware. Perfect as a desktop organizer, bedside chest, or addition to a larger mizuya or kaidan tansu arrangement, this compact cabinet brings authentic vintage Japanese character and practical storage 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.
