Vintage Japanese Panels Screen Divider (SKU 25D-028)

Showa-era bamboo and wood folding byobu-style room divider with carved floral details

This vintage Japanese four-panel screen divider combines the lightness of sudare-style bamboo slats with a warm lacquered wood frame, creating an elegant yet understated presence in any room. Each panel is rhythmically banded with fine vertical reeds, allowing soft light and air to pass through while still providing a sense of privacy and enclosure.

Decorative wooden rails punctuate the design, featuring stylised floral cut-outs that recall traditional byobu and ranma transom carvings from the Showa period. The four hinged sections fold easily for storage or flexible placement, making this vintage Japanese screen divider a practical accent for separating living areas, framing an entry, or adding a subtle wabi-sabi touch to contemporary interiors.
