Antique Japanese Shoin Door — 1920s, Taisho Era (SKU: 25M-436)
A Scenic Portal to Tranquility and Time

This breathtaking antique shoin door set from the Taisho era is more than an architectural element—it is a carved landscape frozen in time. Crafted by master artisans, each panel tells a poetic story of nature’s stillness: a towering pine reaching skyward, delicate boats drifting on water, and Mount Fuji rising in quiet majesty beneath a rising sun.

The interplay of negative space and finely carved details invites both light and imagination to filter through. Ideal as a statement wall piece, sliding partition, or mounted artwork, this set brings harmony and storytelling into any interior it graces.
