About the Item
From Tohoku area, Japan.
This mid-size, dark reddish brown Urushi lacquered Tansu chest of drawers is a product of Meiji period (1868-1912) , estimate from the style & conditions. Made of quality Sugi cedar.
Originally made with traditional wood joinery without metal fastener. Urushi lacquer remains in nice wabi sabi touch. The warm dark color with reddish hue comes from Urushi and the layers of other Japanese traditional techniques - persimmon tannin (kakishibu), burnt pine ink and slight amount of red ochre (Bengala).
There're the manufacture date - January in Keio 3 (1867) written on the bottom panel together with owner's info - seems to be owned by the Buddhist temple, but probably the date seems to be fake. the ink color in that area looks too new than other writings, also looks like written by the other person.
Smooth opening & closing operation on all drawers.
