Vintage Japanese Small Drawer (SKU 25D-390)

Compact Showa-era tansu-style chest with five drawers and elegant black pulls

This vintage Japanese small drawer chest evokes the clean, functional lines of mid–Showa era design. Crafted in warm-toned solid wood, it features five shallow drawers framed by simple molding and set on a low plinth base, echoing the silhouette of a traditional ko-tansu in a compact format suited to the modern interior.

Each drawer glides smoothly and is finished with classic black metal warabite-style handles that add a subtle accent against the natural grain. The upper drawer includes removable dividers, making it ideal for organizing accessories, calligraphy tools, or other small treasures while preserving the understated wabi-sabi charm of vintage Japanese furniture.

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.
