The upper section presents paired kannon biraki doors with a large circular iron lock plate and characteristic cross-brace hardware; the lower section offers two full-width drawers fitted with Hirute handles. Iron hardware throughout: corner reinforcements, butterfly hinges, and decorative strapwork applied in the bold, graphic manner of Meiji-period ironwork. Kiri construction throughout case, interior, and secondary framing — the preferred wood for isho dansu, valued for its light weight, breathability, and resistance to moisture and insects. A handsome and functional storage cabinet equally at home as a bedroom chest or entryway statement piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eDimensions: 37\"W × 16.5\"D × 41\"H (94 × 42 × 104 cm) | Upper section: 20.5\"H | Lower section: 20.5\"H\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shogun's Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51756337987901,"sku":"26L0236B","price":1975.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/2348\/3709\/files\/D00586A8-180E-4BB1-82F9-63B842F5CABC_1_105_c.jpg?v=1779932654","url":"https:\/\/shogunsgallery.com\/products\/antique-japanese-meiji-era-ishodansu-kiri-wood-cannon-biraki-tansu-iron-hardware","provider":"Shogun's Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
