This charming miniature tansu (小箪笥) is a fine example of traditional Japanese small-cabinet craftsmanship produced by 高山けやき工芸 Takayama Keyaki-Kogei, a workshop celebrated for its use of keyaki — Japanese zelkova — one of the most prized hardwoods in Japanese furniture-making tradition. The cabinet features multiple small drawers arranged in a compact, elegant form characteristic of Showa-era decorative tansu intended for the storage of accessories, writing implements, and small personal effects. The natural grain of the keyaki wood lends the piece a warm, lustrous character, with the distinctive figuring of zelkova adding visual depth and tactile richness to every surface. The construction reflects the careful joinery and fine finishing associated with Takayama Keyaki-Kogei, whose wares are emblematic of the Showa period's celebration of regional Japanese woodcraft. The cabinet retains its original sticker labels, indicating it was likely never put into regular use, and emerges from a family storehouse with exceptional freshness for its age. A minor surface scratch is present on the right side of the front face, otherwise the piece presents beautifully. This compact tansu is a versatile and highly decorative object, equally suited as a functioning jewellery or stationery cabinet or as a display piece evoking the warmth of mid-century Japanese domestic life. Size Height: 13.5 cm Width: 13.5 cm Depth: 15 cm Weight: 952 g Condition The cabinet is in good condition, believed to be essentially unused with original stickers still attached. A very minor scratch is noted on the upper right area of the front panel; no cracks, chips, or structural issues are present.
