Authentic Antique Mizuya dansu (Tansu): Japanese Kitchen Chests & Cabinets

The Mizuya dansu (Tansu) is perhaps the most practical and structurally diverse piece of Japanese antique furniture. Historically used as a kitchen chest or pantry cabinet across Japan, these pieces showcase exceptional utility and character, often featuring intricate sliding doors, multiple drawers, and display shelving. Today, these beautiful, solid wood Tansu function perfectly in a modern home as unique kitchen cabinets, buffets, or storage consoles.

Our Commitment: Every antique Tansu is meticulously preserved and never stripped, using our gentle Beeswax and Orange Oil finish to maintain its original colour and integrity. All pieces are professionally fumigated for secure import into Australia.
