Japanese Antique Tansu 1860s-1900s / Sideboard Wabi Sabi #02
Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba
This is a historically significant Japanese Tansu cabinet, crafted from cedar wood during the Meiji period (1860s–1900s).
Its minimalist and refined design embodies traditional Japanese aesthetics, bringing a sense of understated elegance and serene presence to any interior. Over time, the cedar wood has developed a warm, rich patina, enhancing the cabinet’s unique character and depth.
A distinctive feature of this piece is the lattice at the upper back, designed to provide ventilation.

This Tansu reflects the philosophy of *wabi-sabi*, finding beauty in imperfection and impermanence. Its understated elegance contrasts with conventional opulence, making it a rare and distinctive work of craftsmanship.
Additionally, this cabinet can be paired and stacked with the Japanese Antique Tansu...
