About the Item
Antique mid-size tansu with 4 drawers - product of Meiji to Taisho period (estimate 1868-1926).
Made with traditional woodworking jointly without metal fastener.
Finished with black urushi lacquer - it's original, remains in good condition. Urushi color looks different by the dimention & amount of the light.
Smooth opening & closing operation for all drawers.
Minor surface loss near the corner of the upper-right drawer panel is original, intentionally selected material for the panel (the "loss" area is urushi-lacquered because of that).
It gives gentle impression, as well as Wabi Sabi element of this Tansu.
