Product description
This rare Kaidan Tansu is an original 19th-century Japanese stair chest from the Meiji period (circa 1890). Crafted in richly patinated wood, it combines functional storage with the architectural elegance of a compact staircase. Each step hides multiple drawers and compartments, showcasing the ingenious spatial solutions of traditional Japanese carpentry. Historically used in merchant homes, these chests served both as practical furniture and as a clever way to navigate multi-level interiors. This unique piece is a true unica and no longer reproducible.
