About the Item

This account consists of five companies. As for me, I specialize in carefully selected Japanese antiques. With 20 years of experience, we re-propose Japanese antiques from a new perspective. This is a very old Tansu made in Japan. It is a furniture of Meiji era. (1860s-1900s) The materials are zelkova and cedar. The design is ultimately simple and lean. It is characterized by Japanese simplicity. The sliding door with vertical lattice creates a beautiful scene. It has been used and turned into a deeply tasteful color. Careful and careful maintenance was carried out so as not to spoil the beautiful, timeworn appearance. The sliding doors were made to open and close smoothly. The drawer storage moves smoothly. The entire furniture has been disinfected with water. You can use it with peace of mind. This Tansu evokes the spirit of “Wabi Sabi,” the Japanese philosophy of finding beauty in imperfection and impermanence. It is modest, humble, and unconventional, a beauty that is the opposite of vulgarity. It is a unique and very rare piece of furniture. It weighs approximately 60 kg. Since ancient times, people have created and passed down necessary tools from familiar materials and nurtured a lifestyle culture in order to survive in the severe struggle against nature. By using these objects over a long period of time, they accumulate a flavor and reflect a way of life. In today's world, where cheap and disposable items are encouraged, the act of repeatedly re-creating things around us by modifying them opens up a new world. With this philosophy in mind, we collect beautiful, powerful, and unique carefully selected antiquities from Japan.
