Vintage Japanese Bamboo Screen - 1950s Showa Era (25D-191-2)

Vintage Japanese Screen, Bamboo (SKU 25D-191-2)

Showa-era four-panel sudare screen with carved floral and bamboo motifs

This vintage Japanese folding screen is crafted in the style of a sudare, with finely strung bamboo slats framed in a rich, dark-stained wood. The four hinged panels create a warm, translucent partition that softens light while preserving a sense of openness, making it ideal as a room divider or backdrop in both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Along the lower registers, contrasting cedar-toned panels are pierced with elegant designs of plum blossoms and bamboo, evoking classic seasonal imagery found in Japanese interiors. Subtle variations in the bamboo weave add texture and rhythm, while the gently arched top rails and twig-like crosspieces lend an understated, organic character typical of mid-Showa craftsmanship.
