This elegant chest of drawers is made by Sendai Tansu, a traditional craft that has continued since the Edo period. This is a piece of folk art furniture that incorporates traditional techniques from Miyagi Prefecture, and is a masterpiece that encapsulates Japan's aesthetic sense and craftsmanship.

Each drawer has black iron decorative metal fittings, and the upper tier has two small drawers on each side, and the lower tier has 4 large drawers for a practical configuration. The decorative metal fittings in the center are engraved with traditional patterns, and the design of the four corner metal fittings and handles are also carefully crafted down to the smallest detail.

The solid iron fittings that characterize Sendai Tansu are not only decorative, but also serve the function of protecting the chest of drawers. The drawers open and close smoothly, and the interior is carefully finished. As it is a reused product, there may be some signs of wear or uneven coloring of the lacquer due to age, but this is the unique taste of time-tested folk furniture and proves its value as a traditional craft.
