About the Item

An antique Japanese drawer chest crafted from solid pine, dating from approximately 1868–1926. The piece has a strong, imposing presence, shaped by its deep proportions and substantial weight—around 60kg. Its generous depth suggests it was originally used for storing garments such as shirts or folded textiles. All drawers open and close smoothly, with one drawer—sixth from the top on the left side—made from a different wood, adding a quiet visual accent born from practical repair or adaptation over time. The chest’s surfaces show the rich character and warmth that develop only after many decades of use, giving it a calm, dignified presence suited for both functional storage and sculptural display. A powerful piece with historical depth, offering ample capacity and a grounded sense of permanence. Additional antique furniture and decorative objects sourced from across Japan are also available upon request.
