Japanese Antique Tansu 1860s-1920s / Chest of Drawer Wabi Sabi
About the Item
This is a very old chest of drawers made in Japan.
This piece of furniture dates back to the Meiji period (1860s-1920s).
The main material is cedar, with chestnut wood used only for the surface of the drawers.
The design is very simple and there is nothing wasteful about it.
This simplicity embodies Japan.
The lattice sliding doors create a beautiful shadow effect, creating a beautiful scene.
It has darkened with use and has a rich texture.
The two pieces of wood at the top have been repaired in recent years. However, this has been done with care to preserve the beauty of the aging process.
The sliding doors open and close very smoothly.
The drawers open and close very smoothly.
The entire piece has been washed and disinfected.
You can use it with confidence.
This chest of drawers reminds us of the spirit of wabi-sabi, a Japanese philosophy that finds beauty in imperfection and impermanence.
It is a modest and humble beauty, an unconventional beauty, the opposite of vulgarity.
This is a unique and extremely rare item.
Weight 23kg.
Since ancient times, people have made the necessary tools from familiar materials to survive in the harsh battle with nature, passed them down, and cultivated a lifestyle and culture.
These objects accumulate flavor through long-term use and reflect a way of life.
In today's world, where cheap and disposable things are encouraged, the act of repeatedly modifying and remaking everyday objects opens up new worlds.
With this philosophy in mind, we carefully select and collect beautiful, powerful, and unique antique Japanese art.
