New Love?

So, people go to antique shops. BORING. I mean, I have never ever in my life had a desire to go to antique shops. But I went last week--to a JAPANESE antique shop. And I fell in love.
And I went today and BOUGHT the object of my affection--a 1890 "tan-su" There's another word in front of tan-su (no, not "step"--although some DO have "step" in front) and OF COURSE in my excitement, although he wrote it down for me, I forgot the paper with the word :( Sad.
Here's some pictures . . .
