Our newest find...

We couldn't wait to get our hands on this Tansu!




What is a Tansu, you may ponder....Tansu is the word for chest, chest of drawers or cupboard in Japanese. It is often used in the West to refer to traditional Japanese chests, handcrafted and made of fine woods, such as cypress, keyaki, Japanese cedar and koa.

Arrived just in time for the holidays!

An interesting fact about the Tansu... Japanese homes were sparsely furnished. The main piece of furniture was a chest, or a set of chests, easily transportable in case of fire. Chests could easily be taken on land and sea-voyages, at the spur of the moment.



Let's throw in a little bit of variety. Our 36-Drawer Document Tansu makes an amazing jewelry/accessory chest or a decorative home for your important paperwork.
