Description

Vintage Japanese Small Tansu Drawer (SKU 25D-340)

Compact Showa-era style tansu drawer with rich grain and simple modern lines.

This small Japanese chest is crafted in the manner of a kodansu, a personal storage tansu designed for writing tools and treasured objects. The warm reddish-brown finish highlights the expressive wood grain that flows across the top and sides, giving the piece a quiet presence despite its modest scale. Two front drawers with understated metal pulls provide practical storage, while the open upper compartment offers a convenient space for frequently used items.

With its clean, rectilinear form and minimal hardware, this Showa-era drawer harmonizes easily with both traditional and contemporary interiors. Use it on a desk for stationery, beside a futon or bed as a nightstand, or on a low shelf as an accent piece that brings an authentic touch of early 20th-century Japan into everyday life.

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.
