Description

Antique Japanese Shoin Door, Wood, 1920s (SKU 25S-487-1)

Elegant Taishō-era shoin doors with refined kumiko latticework

These antique Japanese shoin doors feature a warm natural wood frame and finely worked vertical kumiko slats over shoji paper, creating a soft, diffused light ideal for a traditional study or tearoom. The lower panels are enriched with intricate geometric lattice patterns, showcasing the precision joinery and understated sophistication associated with classic shoin-zukuri interiors.

Likely crafted in the early 20th century, the pair retains its original character, with minor age marks that add depth to the patina without distracting from the clean lines of the design. Whether installed as functioning sliding doors, used as a tokonoma-style backdrop, or displayed as wall-mounted art, these shoin doors bring authentic Taishō-period atmosphere to contemporary spaces.
