    Product Description & Specifications
    Title

    This exquisite Japanese Isho Kasane Dansu originates from Yonezawa in Yamagata prefecture and was originally made in the late Meiji period (before 1912).  

    Constructed from sugi (cryptomeria wood) with kuri (chestnut wood) drawer fronts and a wiped lacquered finish, this chest exemplifies the fine craftsmanship and regional design cues of northern Japan.

    The hand-forged ironwork depicts intricate motifs - Round lock plates depict cherry blossoms, sand cast mokko (melon vine) drawer pulls against backplates cut and engraved as pine boughs and tea seedpod motifs in the drawer corners.

    Unusually practical for Asian furniture with a hinged lockbox on the right -originally intended for safeguarding valuables - which adds both visual interest and practical security. Carefully restored, this dansu retains its authentic character while offering versatile storage and display potential in contemporary interiors.

    • Origin: Yonezawa in Yamagata prefecture, Japan
    • Date: Late Meiji era - circa 1905
    • Materials: Sugi (cryptomeria) frame and drawers & kuri (chestnut) drawer fronts. Hand-forged iron hardware
    • Features: Traditional Kasane Isho dansu form (stacking clothing chest) with large drawers, side lockbox
    • Condition: Antique condition with age-appropriate wear and restored finish
    • Dimensions: W108 x D45 x H95 cm
    • References: This tansu is similar to near identical to plate 133 of Tansu: Traditional Japanese Cabinetry by Heineken.

    Every item on our website has been expertly restored in our UK workshops. We avoid over-restoring items and make sure every piece is conserved to be safe and appreciated for many years to come. Each item we sell has to meet our high standards. 

    Any specific condition information of note can be found in our product description above. 

    How do I look after a piece from Indigo? 

    Your antiques should look after themselves and should need very little cleaning. Occassionally dust with a microfibre cloth. For further information, ask us, or consult our How To Clean Antique Furniture guide

    How did you become interested in Oriental antiques?

    Marion & Richard spent much of their early lives travelling in India and developed a shared passion for the everyday beauty of Indian architecture and antiques. Tom, their son, and now owner has been travelling to Asia since 3 years of age.
