Heisei-era ko-dansu chest with graceful vine motif and three smooth-running drawers
This compact Japanese chest, or ko-dansu, showcases beautifully figured warm-toned wood across three horizontal drawers, each fitted with traditional round metal pull handles. A flowing vine with leaves and berries is rendered in a darker inlay or lacquer, cascading diagonally across the drawer fronts and adding an elegant sense of movement to the clean, rectilinear form.
Sized for tabletop or tansu-top use, it offers practical storage for stationery, accessories, or tea utensils while bringing a subtle Heisei-era aesthetic to any interior. The simple casework, refined joinery, and decorative hardware balance utility with the understated charm typical of mid-20th-century Japanese furniture.
A refined vintage accent that brings the warmth of Japanese woodcraft and seasonal vine imagery to even the smallest space.
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.
