Japanese Kannon Biraki Chest-on-Chest – Paulownia Wood with Decorative Iron Hardware
This refined Japanese Kannon Biraki chest-on-chest is a beautiful example of traditional cabinetry, distinguished by its twin-opening doors—a feature from which the name "Kannon Biraki" (meaning “Kannon-style opening”) is derived. Crafted from lightweight yet durable paulownia wood, this chest was designed to protect garments and precious belongings, with excellent natural resistance to humidity and insects.
The chest features decorative iron hardware throughout—simple yet elaborate shaped locks, hinges, and corner plates—offering both functional strength and aesthetic appeal. The symmetrical façade and vertical form reflect the clean geometry and restrained elegance of classic Japanese furniture design.
Comprising two stackable sections, this chest offers both visual balance and flexibility in placement. A timeless piece that blends subtle beauty with practical storage, ideal for traditional or modern interiors.
