Mizuya dansuThese Mizuya Dansu (Kitchen Chests) would have been used to store items related to cooking. About 5.5ft high and ranging from 3 to 9 ft wide, they are composed of 2 pieces stacked on top of each other. They are characterized by their asymmetrical layouts of sliding doors and pullout drawers, and come in many styles. Like all tansu, the focus is on craftsmanship and natural materials - incredibly detailed hand-forged iron hardware atop exotic rich-grained woods. |

History of Mizuya Tansu
In the late Edo period, Mizuya Tansu (Kitchen Chests) became a staple in the home and the foundation of the kitchen. They represented a new epoch in which people could afford to cook full meals and experiment with cuisine, as opposed to single pot cooking.
They were constructed of two or more pieces stacked on top of eachother, and had large cavernous spaces that would be accessed through sliding doors, as well as several pull out drawers for smaller storage.
