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    This exquisite Japanese Isho Kasane Dansu originates from Yonezawa in Yamagata prefecture and was originally made in the late Meiji period (before 1912).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