たんす
たんす · tansu · JLPT N2 · noun
chest of drawers
🗄️ 箪笥 = 箪 (bamboo basket) + 笥 (bamboo box): bamboo storage boxes, now drawers
Both kanji originally named woven bamboo containers for storing clothes. The word later came to mean the wooden chest of drawers. Say tan-su: the tan part sounds like tan, as in a sunbathing tan.
