Vintage Japanese Door - 1960s Showa Era (25D-361-2)

Vintage Japanese Door, showa Era (SKU 25D-361-2)

Showa-era bamboo and wood amado style door with carved koi and reeds

This vintage Japanese door is crafted in a warm natural palette, combining vertical bamboo slats with a solid wooden frame. The lower panel features an elegant openwork design of koi swimming among reeds, recalling the tranquil atmosphere of a garden pond viewed from a traditional engawa veranda. The two hinged panels can be used together as a light, breathable partition or installed as sliding doors in a custom frame.

Horizontal wooden battens rhythmically anchor the bamboo, creating subtle shadow lines that emphasize the door’s handworked character. The gently arched base rail and contrasting dark accent strip add a refined architectural note, making this piece ideal as a statement room divider, shoji-style screen alternative, or wall-mounted architectural element in both Japanese and contemporary interiors.
