About the Item
This is an antique Japanese Tansu.
The patina developed over time is truly exquisite.
It has been meticulously maintained to preserve its patina.
The doors operate smoothly.
It is in excellent condition for furniture of this era.
You can use it with confidence.
The lock on the handle works, but there is no key.
This piece evokes the spirit of wabi-sabi, the Japanese philosophy that finds beauty in imperfection and impermanence.
The polar opposite of vulgarity, beauty in modesty, unconventional beauty.
This is an extremely rare, one-of-a-kind piece.
Weight: Approximately 16 kg
Since ancient times, people have crafted the tools they needed from familiar materials to survive in the harsh battle with nature, passing them down through the generations and fostering a lifestyle and culture.
These objects acquire character through years of use and reflect a way of life.
The harsher the natural environment and the weaker the people, the stronger their power.
In an age where cheap, disposable products are encouraged, the act of repeatedly modifying and remaking everyday objects opens up new worlds.
Based on this philosophy, we collect beautiful, powerful and unique antiques carefully selected from Japan.
