From our recent Japanese Acquisitions travels.
This is a functional old five (5) drawer drawer tansu storage chest/cabinet ,hand crafted with fine grained wood. It is in remarkably clean original “natural” condition.
Perfect for your treasures.
It is 100% original and in virtually good condition with the Kiri wood in fine shape.
A fine Japanese antique five drawer with simple horizontal drawers and with original hand carved pulls.
Leave it to the Japanese master craftsmen to create this amazing practical and useful storage chest crafted from natural kiri wood. Also known as Paulownia, the Japanese kiri specifically refers to P. tomentosa; it is also known as the “princess tree”. It was once customary to plant a Paulownia tree when a baby girl was born, and then to make it into a dresser as a wedding present when she married. Paulownia is also the mon (clan symbol) of the office of prime minister and also serves as the emblem of the cabinet and the government (vis-à-vis the chrysanthemum being the Imperial Seal of Japan).
Good clean original condition just the way we like to find them!
Dimensions: 14 inches tall and 12 inches wide and 12inches deep
