Japanese Garden Furniture

This first complete, lavishly illustrated introduction to tansu has served since its publication in 1981 as the most authoritative guide for anyone who owns, or dreams of owning, one of these fine pieces of traditional Japanese cabinetry. As the popularity of tansu has increased among collectors and lovers of fine furniture, so has the demand for this vital information on connoisseurship and care. The Heinekens' book covers everything from the history of these unique furniture designs, to the materials used in their construction, to tips on how to select, refinish, and maintain them. This first softcover edition of the work includes a new preface outlining developments in tansu collecting over the past two decades, and updated information on tansu care. If you are contemplating purchasing a tansu or want more information about one you already own, this the book you need.

With 114 color plates and over 650 figures, this book documents and discusses the roots of more than eighty unique furniture types, including the many variations of the beloved tansu chest that has made its way into homes and museums around the world.
