Japanese Shop Storage Chest (Choba-Dansu) – Meiji Period, Early 20th Century

A handsome Japanese shop storage chest (choba-dansu) from the Meiji period, early 20th century. Crafted from paulownia wood, valued for its lightness and resistance to humidity, the chest is fitted with iron hardware that adds both durability and character.

Originally used by merchants for the safe storage of documents, receipts, and valuables, this chest reflects the functional elegance of Japanese design. The clean lines, warm natural patina, and sturdy proportions make it both practical and decorative.

Perfect today as a statement storage piece, side cabinet, or display chest, it brings a touch of authentic Japanese craft and history into a modern interior.
