Vintage Japanese Small Drawer (SKU 25D-388-3)

Showa-era three-drawer tansu-style chest with retro lotus motif

This compact vintage Japanese small drawer chest captures the playful elegance of late Showa design. Alternating panels of soft beige and deep burgundy lacquer are accented with stylised lotus-like motifs and slim metal pulls, giving the piece a distinctive mid-century Japanese vanity or desk-top feel.

The three sliding drawers are crafted in natural wood, offering practical storage for stationery, accessories, or tea utensils while the glossy painted case adds a warm accent to any interior. Perfect as a petite kodansu on a shelf or sideboard, it brings an authentic touch of 1980s Japan to contemporary spaces.

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.
