Futon Tansu
"Keyaki (Zelkova)" wood, circa 1880

This is one of the most incredible tansu you will ever see. The entire face of the tansu is made of Keyaki (Zelkova), the most highly prized wood of Japan. Normally Keyaki is used sparingly on tansu, except for the very old and most highly prized pieces. It is rare that the frame would be made of keyaki...it makes this piece very heavy, but fortunately it is in 2 pieces. The ironwork is, of course, hand forged. The door locks with a sliding bar hidden in the carved piece across the center of the door. This tansu is large enough to hold an entertainment center, or it would be teriffic for blankets, pillows, quilts, ect.
