About the Item

Japanese Antique Mizuya tansu chest / side board, From Kanto area, Japan. Made from premium quality, reddish Sugi Cedar, the product of circa 1900s to 1930 (late Meiji to early Showa period). The structural parts are made of the thick lumbers, it's still tough enough for actual use. Original paint remains, partly fade by age. Also there're the signs of attached papers like the silhouettes, giving a taste of wabi sabi. There used to be sliding doors, but had lost at some time in the past - but a result is, this simple and minimalistic look with warmth of the wood. The top board is tough enough for putting something on it.
