Antique Japanese Isho-Dansu, 2-part Kasane Kimono Chest, Meiji era.

Beautiful, dark, weathered Kasane Isho-Dansu or two-part kimono chest.

The two separate parts are connected by ironwork on the sides.

The tansu has four spacious drawers, equipped with metal handles and lock plates (without a key).

In the past, these types of chests were used for travel and trade. The upper metal handles allowed a wooden beam to be slid through, making it easier to carry the furniture.

This drawer cabinet has aged and weathered beautifully.

A traditional and authentic Japanese piece of furniture with history, a unique interior piece!
