Description
Tansus are a type of wooden furniture that originated from the Edo period (1603- 1868) in Japan. The step tansu in particular was created to serve a specific purpose: compact, yet easily accessible storage. Japanese homeowners were taxed according to the amount of livable space in their home. As a result, the Japanese people gravitated towards furniture that focused on subtlety, rather than luxury. Adopted from an ingenious 19th century Japanese design, this step tansu is not only a historically resonant piece, but echoes the subtlety that the Japanese held in such high regard. This is a versatile piece: perfect for storage or as a room divider.
Care
Proper care can guarantee that the finish will last a long time. The lacquer used for oriental wood furniture and decor is a durable finish that is generally low maintenance. Regular dusting with a slightly damp microfiber cloth will help keep it clean. Make sure the cloth is clean before using, as foreign particles may cause scratching on the surface. It is also recommended to use the microfiber cloth to avoid scratching of the surface and to buff out smears and smudges. If using a damp cloth, always make sure to remove any excess water left behind, as this can damage the finish.
During dry seasons (typically winter), you may use wood oil on the undersides of furniture to help protect the wood.
Avoid placement in direct exposure to the sun for prolonged periods of time. Sunlight can cause damage and fading over time.
