Antique Japanese Kumiko Style Ranma Transom — Architectural Wood Decor, 1920, Taisho Era (SKU: 25S-487-2)

Refined Taisho-era transom with crisp kumiko lattice and warm cedar tone.

This antique Japanese transom showcases an elegant horizontal composition, originally used above a desk alcove or window in a traditional washitsu. The finely worked kumiko lattice is laid out in a rhythmic grid, allowing soft, filtered light to pass through the shoji paper backing while maintaining privacy and a sense of calm.

Framed in a warm, honey-toned wood with mitered corners, the panel retains a clean, architectural presence that suits both classic Japanese interiors and modern minimalist spaces. Display it as a transom, mount it as wall art, or repurpose it as a sliding shoji-style screen to bring authentic Taisho-period character into your home.

As part of our mission to preserve and share Japanese craftsmanship, we offer antiques that were made not just to be admired, but to be used. These pieces were crafted for everyday life, and we honor their purpose by ensuring they can continue to be enjoyed and lived with today.

All vintage and antique items are sold as-is. Each piece may exhibit signs of age, including scratches, wear, or minor imperfections. These are not considered defects but natural evidence of the item’s authenticity and age.
