Rare Meiji/Taisho Era 3-Section Kasane Tansu - Hand-forged Iron & Aged Sugi Wood This authentic Japanese "Kasane Tansu" (stacked chest) from the early 20th century (Meiji/Taisho period) is a masterpiece of functional minimalism. Crafted from aged Sugi (Cedar) with Kiri (Paulownia) linings, it embodies the profound beauty of Wabi-sabi. Hand-Forged Ironwork: Features heavy-duty "Sao-doshi" side handles, originally used for carrying the chest with poles. Modular Versatility: The unit consists of three stackable sections, allowing you to use them individually or as one grand statement piece. Natural Patina: The deep, dark-toned finish has been naturally polished by a century of time, offering a texture that modern replicas cannot imitate.
