About the Item

This account is operated by five different companies. As for me, I specialize in Japanese antiques and carefully selected items. With my 20 years of experience, I am re-proposing Japanese antiques from a new perspective. This is a very old large Tansu made in Japan. This furniture is from the Meiji era. (1860's-1920's) The material is cedar wood. The design is very simple and lean. This simplicity embodies Japan. The sliding door with lattice design creates shadows and beautiful scenes. It has been used and blackened, giving it a tasteful texture. We have carefully and meticulously maintained it so as not to spoil its beautiful appearance over time. Sliding doors have been made to open and close smoothly. The entire furniture has been washed in water and disinfected. You can use it with peace of mind. This Tansu reminds us of the spirit of Wabi-Sabi, the Japanese philosophy of finding beauty in imperfection and impermanence. It is a modest and humble beauty, the beauty of the unconventional, the opposite of vulgarity. This is a unique and very rare piece of furniture. Weight approx. 50 kg. Since ancient times, people have created and passed down necessary tools from familiar materials to survive in the severe struggle against nature, and have nurtured a lifestyle culture. 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.
