This tansu is made in the traditional kasane-dansu style in 2 parts with 4 drawers. It also has a small set of drawers in the bottom right corner. It is made from cryptomeria wood with iconic Japanese iron lock plates. It dates to the early Shōwa period (1926 - 1989).

Kasane dansu were made as clothing chest of drawers for storage of expensive clothing and garments. Homes usually had one clothing chest for winter clothing and a separate one for summer clothing. Carrying handles allowed these chests to be stored in outhouses when not in use.
