Vintage Japanese Door - 1960s Showa Era (25D-361-1)

Vintage Japanese Door, 1960s, Showa Era (SKU 25D-361-1)

Two-panel Japanese sudare screen door with warm cedar grain and woven reed infill

This vintage Japanese door is crafted in the manner of a sudare screen, pairing a slender wooden frame with closely spaced reed slats to filter light and air. The lower and central rails showcase beautifully figured softwood boards, whose flowing grain adds a subtle decorative banding against the fine vertical rhythm of the reeds.

Configured as a hinged two-panel partition, it works equally well as a room divider, shoji-style doorway, or freestanding accent in an entry, living space, or tea room. The natural materials and understated design embody Japanese wabi-sabi aesthetics, bringing texture, warmth, and a sense of calm to both traditional and contemporary interiors.
