Japanese Antique Black Drawer 1860s-1900s / Tansu Storage Wabi Sabi

About the Item

Very old Japanese black drawer storage. The furniture is from the Meiji period (1860s-1900s). Material is cedar wood. The handles are made of iron. The design is simple and lean. It is a very beautiful piece of furniture with a uniquely Japanese simplicity. All drawers open and close smoothly. All have been washed in water and sanitized. You can use it with peace of mind. There is a hole on the back where a mouse has gnawed. It is a unique accent. This is a very rare Japanese furniture with wabi-sabi aesthetic. Weight: 11.5 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.
