About the Item

This account is operated by four different companies. As for me, I specialize in Japanese antique furniture and objects. With 20 years of experience as a buyer, I am leading Japanese antiques with a new perspective. This is an old Tansu made in Japan. This furniture is from the Meiji era. (1860s to 1900s). The material is cedar wood. The handle hardware of the drawer storage is made of iron. The design is very simple and rustic. This simplicity embodies Japan. The lattice sliding doors create shadows and a beautiful scene. The texture is used, blackened, and tasteful. Careful maintenance has been carried out so as not to spoil the beauty of the house as it ages. The sliding doors open and close smoothly. Drawer storage opens and closes very smoothly. The entire furniture has been washed and disinfected with water. You can use it with peace of mind. From this Tansu, I feel the spirit of Wabisabi, the Japanese philosophy of finding beauty in imperfection and impermanence. It is a modest and humble beauty, the beauty of the unconventional, the opposite of vulgarity. This is a unique and very rare item. Weight 13 kg. Since ancient times, people have created and passed down necessary tools from familiar materials to survive in the severe struggle against nature, and have nurtured a lifestyle culture. By using these objects over a long period of time, they accumulate a flavor and reflect a way of life. In today's world, where cheap and disposable items are encouraged, the act of repeatedly re-creating things around us by modifying them opens up a new world. With this philosophy in mind, we collect beautiful, powerful, and unique carefully selected antiquities from Japan.
