Japanese Antique Large Tansu 1860s-1900s / Cabinet Sideboard Wabisabi

About the Item

This is an old large Tansu made in Japan. This furniture was made in the Meiji period (1860s-1900s) and is made of cedar wood. It is an unusual type of furniture with shallow depth and fits beautifully against a wall, in a hallway, or in a limited space, making it attractive wherever it is placed. The design is a simple structure that eliminates any waste. The lattice sliding door skillfully captures light and shadow, bringing tranquility and beauty to the space. The deep flavor created by years of careful maintenance and careful use seems to reflect the passage of time itself. The sliding door opens and closes smoothly and comfortably for practical use. It has already been cleaned, so you can use it immediately upon arrival. This is a quiet and powerful piece with a strong presence that embodies the spirit of “Wabi Sabi,” which embodies the Japanese sense of beauty. Weight: approx. 50 kg ____________________________________ Our Philosophy Objects always tell the truth. All I can do is just to face with them sincerely and give them deep affection as much as I can. There is no boundary of nationalities and of eras in beauty. But I think now is the time we choose 'Japanese style' and it will be the best way to remind us of what we are losing today and to question us about an essence of beauty again. I hope that you can touch the memories which the objects here have, feel and think of something invisible but exists undoubtedly.
