Description from the seller
Item Description
A compact Japanese-style wooden chest in the tansu tradition, with four drawers and a concealed hidden drawer. The front is finished in a rich reddish-brown with a strongly figured, textured grain. It is framed by dark brown wood and set off by black metal fittings.
The layout has two small drawers stacked on the left, one tall drawer on the right and one wide drawer along the bottom. Each drawer has a black metal pull handle and decorative scalloped corner plates. Black metal corner brackets protect the top edges, and the plinth base carries matching metal fittings. A hidden drawer is built into the left-hand second tier, in the manner of a traditional concealed strongbox. It is an unusual feature for a piece of relatively recent make.
The chest suits jewellery, small valuables, stationery or keepsakes. It can sit on a desk, sideboard or shelf.

Seller's Story
A Japanese living in Japan, I appreciate traditional and modern art.
I specialize in selecting artworks that reflect quiet strength, refined beauty, and timeless craftsmanship of Japanese culture. My collection focuses on pieces that carry a story—whether traditional ukiyo‑e prints, contemporary works inspired by wabi‑sabi aesthetics, or handcrafted items created by regional artisans.
I take pride in offering works that are both visually compelling and culturally meaningful. Every item is carefully curated for authenticity, condition, and artistic value, ensuring that bidders can participate with confidence.
My goal is to connect international collectors with the richness of Japanese artistry—pieces that bring harmony, character, and a touch of Japan’s spirit into your home.
I look forward to sharing these works with you and hope they inspire the same appreciation and joy they bring to me.
