Vintage Japanese Misu (Sumidare) — Bamboo & Silk Brocade, Mid-20th Century (SKU 8860)
Where light, shadow, and stillness dwell in harmony

Gracefully suspended between structure and air, this vintage misu—a traditional Japanese bamboo blind—offers a glimpse into the refined world of courtly interiors and ceremonial spaces. Designed to gently filter sunlight while preserving privacy, sumidare like this one were once used in imperial residences and chashitsu (tea rooms), quietly elevating the mood of any space they adorned. The rhythmic bamboo weave, framed in radiant red and gold brocade, transforms a simple shade into an object of contemplative beauty.

Ornate kinran-style trim and two decorative tassels—once tied to hang with grace and ceremony—enhance its regal presence. The vertical silk borders divide the screen into harmonious thirds, echoing the Japanese aesthetic of asymmetrical balance and intentional imperfection. Whether used as a room divider, gallery piece, or hung as a cultural artifact, this misu invites a timeless, meditative stillness into your home—softly separating space without ever closing it off.
