Description

Vintage Japanese Kamakura Style Small Drawer (SKU 25D-248)

Showa-era carved lacquer ko-dansu with floral motifs and honeycomb ground

This compact three-drawer chest is a charming example of mid-Showa Japanese craftsmanship, designed as a ko-dansu (small chest) for storing personal treasures. The surface is finished in deep vermilion and dark brown lacquer, then hand-carved in low relief to reveal a striking honeycomb pattern that catches the light and emphasizes the layered lacquer work.

Across the drawer fronts, stylized seasonal flowers and foliage are carved in flowing lines, framed by delicate metal blossom-shaped pulls that add a subtle antique accent. Ideal as a jewelry box, desk organizer, or decorative tansu accent on a shelf, this vintage piece brings warm Showa nostalgia and a distinctly Japanese sensibility 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.
