Description

Whispers of the Meiji Era: Antique Japanese Stepped Tansu Chest (1850–1899) A quiet elegance rises with each step of this petite kaidan tansu, crafted in Japan during the late Edo to early Meiji period. Fashioned from warm, timeworn wood—often kiri or sugi—it carries the soul of centuries past in its joinery and ironwork. Each drawer and compartment once held the daily rhythms of life: silk garments, handwritten letters, cherished keepsakes. Its stair-like silhouette evokes movement and transition, a symbol of ascent both literal and spiritual. Whether placed as a sculptural accent or used for thoughtful storage, this piece invites reflection and reverence.
