The classic Japanese kimono chest of drawers, also known as a tansu, is a symbol of traditional Japanese craftsmanship. It originated in the Edo period (1603–1868), but reached the height of its popularity during the Meiji period (1868–1912). This tansu comes from Kansai Prefecture and is crafted from high-quality keyaki wood (Japanese zelkova) – a particularly robust and fine-grained timber prized for its distinctive grain and exceptional durability.
