Vintage Japanese Small Drawer, Showa Era (SKU 25D-050)

Showa-era three-drawer ko-bako with warm two-tone wood and simple metal pulls

This compact vintage chest captures the understated modernism of mid–Showa Japan. The dark-stained carcass contrasts beautifully with the lighter drawer fronts, whose vertical grain and central plank detail create a quiet rhythm across the façade, finished with gently curved metal handles.

Ideal as a desktop tansu or ko-bako for stationery, tea utensils, or small accessories, it brings a touch of Japanese wabi-sabi to contemporary interiors. The softly rounded front edges and honest signs of age give the piece a tactile warmth that only decades of careful use can produce.

  • Origin: Japan

A versatile little chest that adds authentic Showa-era character and practical storage to any space.

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.
