Japanese kiri (paulownia wood) tansu chest featuring eight drawers, two full-width drawers, three medium-size drawers, and three small drawers, including two hidden behind the lower right door. The chest retains its original hand-forged iron hardware with decorative lock plates, bail pulls, and corner brackets characteristic of traditional Meiji-era cabinetry. The simple, functional design reflects the Japanese balance of practicality and understated beauty. Side handles, once used for transport, remain intact. A timeless and versatile storage piece that adds warmth and character to Japandi, wabi-sabi, or rustic modern interiors.
35.5” wide, 16” deep, and 40” high.

There is a small hole in the top inside a knot in the wood. Iron hardware shows natural oxidation and patina. Normal separations in the back were once covered with duct tape and retain some adhesive residue. Locks are no longer functional, but all drawers and the small door open smoothly, for tansu, which doesn't incorporate glides. less
