Authentic Antique Kazari Dana: Japanese Display Cabinets & Ornamental Shelves

The Kazari Dana is an iconic piece of Japanese antique furniture, primarily functioning as a set of ornamental display shelves or display cabinet. The term kazari refers to the traditional Japanese art of decoration, and these pieces were historically placed in aristocratic homes, often near the tokonoma (main alcove), specifically to showcase treasured objects. Kazari Dana designs are complex, featuring asymmetrical shelving, varied compartments, and often include small drawers and sliding doors.

Originally found from the Edo through the Showa period, their beautiful architecture makes them highly desirable today. A Kazari Dana is perfect for collectors seeking a refined, highly decorative piece to display art, ceramics, or other Japanese antiques.

Our Commitment: Every antique Tansu is meticulously preserved and never stripped, using our gentle Beeswax and Orange Oil finish. We take extreme care to avoid any oil on drawers that retain the original paper labels, preserving the chest's historic aesthetic and colour. All pieces are professionally fumigated for secure import into Australia.
