About the Item

New finds from Tohoku area, Japan. This single tier Mizuya tansu is made from premium quality, reddish Sugi Cedar, the product of circa 1870s to 1900s (Meiji to early Taisho period). Having storage capacity with inner shelves. The structural parts are made of the thick lumbers, it's still tough enough for actual use. Sliding doors open & close smoothly. Originally made with traditional wood joinery without metal fastener. The lumbers from Tohoku area are generally Superb quality, since the trees are growing slowly & aging in the cold weather. Growing slowly means tightly packed - even in Pines & Cedars. Also the cold weather prevents the lumbers from damages. It brings durability, heaviness, and beautiful, densed grains to the lumbers. Tohoku's simple but bold style with sort of warmness glowing through and getting stronger when it comes to the antiques.
