About the Item
This antique cabinet was crafted in the Early Showa Period (1926-).
Known as a “Mizuya Tansu,” this traditional Japanese kitchen cabinet was originally designed to store utensils, dishes, and kitchenware in an organized and beautiful way. Mizuya Tansu often features multiple compartments, sliding doors, and shelves, making it highly practical for modern living as well.
This piece is made of Hinoki wood (Japanese cypress), a timber prized in Japan for its lightness, durability, and subtle fragrance. Over the decades, the cabinet has developed a rich patina, with areas where the original finish has worn away—adding depth, warmth, and the unique character that only time can create.
Beyond its original purpose in the kitchen, this cabinet can also serve beautifully as a sideboard or storage piece in living or dining spaces, blending functionality with timeless design.
The structure is crafted using the frame-and-panel construction method, where wooden frames hold thinner panels. This technique not only strengthens the piece but also showcases elegant joinery and a refined aesthetic unique to Japanese woodworking traditions.
Altogether, this antique cabinet exudes a quiet elegance and embodies the subtle beauty of Japanese design, making it a striking and versatile addition to any interior.
As an antique piece, minor scratches and marks may be present, each adding to its unique charm and the story it tells over time.
