A Sendai chest of drawers is said to be one of many fixtures made by the head carpenter of Aouba Castle (in the Sendai Domain), a castle constructed by the influential daimyo *2 Date Masamune during the *1Warring States Period of Japan. Toward the end of the Edo Period, samurai of the Sendai Domain made these chests as a side job. It was a favourite everyday amenity that was used to store katana or kimono.
Warring States Period (Sengoku Jidai, "Age of Warring States"; c. 1467 – c. 1600) is a period in Japanese history.
Date Masamune (September 5, 1567 – June 27, 1636) was a regional ruler of Japan's Azuchi–Momoyama period through early Edo period.
Gorgeous metal embellishments are a characteristic of the Sendai chest of drawers. These embellishments (called kanagu) are painstakingly crafted over the course of six months to a year, sometimes being struck 20,000 times a day. Because there are only five kanagu craftspeople working today, the kanagu is regarded as an important cultural asset.
