Antique Japanese Shoin Door Set — Wood, 1920s, Taishō Era (SKU 25M-441-6)
Where mountains rise and cranes drift across the silence

This exquisite set of antique shoin doors from the Taishō era offers more than architectural beauty—it invites the spirit of nature indoors. Handcrafted in the early 20th century, each panel is a lyrical composition, depicting soaring cranes, a distant Mt. Fuji, and a cascade of pine-covered hills. The slender vertical slats (kumiko) act as a canvas, framing the delicate negative space with quiet intention.

Traditionally used in the shoin-zukuri style of Japanese architecture, these transom doors once separated inner chambers while allowing filtered light to pass through. The artistry of the carved landscape was not merely decorative—it was philosophical, evoking seasonal change, spiritual stillness, and the fleeting nature of life. Whether displayed as wall art, installed as sliding panels, or admired in a contemporary fusion interior, this set carries the grace of wabi-sabi into any space it inhabits.
