Japanese Antique Black Small Drawer 1860s-1900s / Tansu Storage Wabisabi

About the Item

Very old Japanese small drawer. This furniture is from the Meiji period (1860s-1900s). It is made of cedar wood. The drawer is tasteful, rustic, simple and beautiful. There is no waste in design. It is the ultimate in simplicity. It is recommended for displaying your favorite objects or as a night stand. Drawers move smoothly and are in good condition. It has been cleaned and sanitized with water. You can use it with peace of mind. This is a very valuable piece of furniture with a wabi-sabi aesthetic. It weighs 3.5 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 their flavor and reflect the way of life. The more severe the natural environment and the weaker we are, the stronger their power becomes. In today's world, where cheap and disposable products are encouraged, the act of repeatedly re-creating the 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.
