TANSU
These tansu chests were used in traditional Japanese homes and businesses to
access loft areas and for storage. They have roomy storage areas and
drawers, making the most of all available space. Becuase they were
designed to be placed against the wall, the back sides are not finished.
They are finely crafted, combining beauty and functionality. They split
into sections for easy transport and can be shipped. Please click on the
thumbnails for enlargements or inquire for additional photos and
information.
