Japanese Antique Drawer / Tansu Storage / Meiji Period Wabi-Sabi

About the Item

This is an old Japanese drawer. It seems to be around the Meiji period (1868-1912s). It is made of cedar, and the front of the drawer peels off the paint due to friction due to aging, and each has a different artistic expression. This is a valuable thing that can only be born over time, and it can't be made by human hands. We incorporate the natural beauty created over a long period of time into the space and recommend it for interiors that feel Wabisabi. Weight: 14.7kg
