Vintage Japanese Hikidashi Drawer Chest, Late Showa (1966-1989) | SKU: 26J-0747

A compact two-drawer Japanese hikidashi with warm wood grain, dark metal pulls, and a practical tabletop scale.

This vintage Japanese hikidashi is a small tabletop drawer chest with a simple rectilinear form and two stacked pull-out drawers. The drawer fronts show a striking flowing grain pattern in a rich brown tone, while the drawer interiors are finished in a lighter wood. Each drawer is fitted with a dark metal bail pull, and the top surface includes a pair of ring handles that add a distinctive hardware detail. The body sits on a low base with small feet, giving the piece a tidy, elevated profile suitable for shelf, desk, or dresser use.

With its compact footprint, this hikidashi is well suited for organizing small everyday items in a modern home. It can be used on a desk for stationery, clips, or cords; on a dresser for jewelry and personal accessories; or on a bedside table for glasses, earbuds, and other essentials. Its modest size and strong wood character also make it an appealing decorative accent in Japandi, wabi-sabi, or vintage-inspired interiors.
