MIZUYA KITCHEN TANSU CHESTS AND SHOP CHESTS

Mizuya chests were used in a kitchen area to store dishes and cooking implements.  They typically are two stacking pieces that can be used as is, next to each other for a buffet type arrangement, or mount the top piece up on the wall and put a slab of marble or granite on the bottom piece and you will have a unique and beautiful set of kitchen cabinets. These pieces are highly collectible and will last for generations.
Shop Chests often have sliding glass front doors for display of selected items.  These make very nice pieces in which to store and display china, books and other items.
