Sendai Tansu is a traditional craft from Miyagi Prefecture, combined of multiple technologies. Sendai Tansu combines wood materials such as Japanese zelkova and chestnut, creating the “sashi mono” (a technique combining two boards to make the furniture). It also uses a traditional way of “painting” lacquer called Kijiro, as well as utilizing a particular “hand-embossed metal fittings” of luxurious iron covered with decorations. In the late Edo period, the Sendai Tansu was initially made for Samurais to store their swords, where it eventually became popular as a durable and long-lasting trousseau. However, the industry failed due to the decline in demand, as housing and lifestyles evolved. Currently remains only one craftsman who can handle all three of the mentioned techniques of “sashi-mono,” traditional style of “painting,” and the use of particular “metal fittings.” While being driven into remote areas as an industry, we questioned whether the act of design could connect these traditional technologies to the future.
