Description

This Vintage Japanese Ranma, crafted from sugi and kiri wood, showcases exquisite carving depicting traditional motifs of pine, bamboo, and plum. Known as the "Three Friends of Winter," these symbols represent resilience, strength, and renewal in Japanese culture.

Ranma has a rich history in Japanese architecture, originally used as transom panels in traditional sliding doors called "shoji" or "fusuma." These decorative panels not only served a practical purpose in allowing airflow but also added aesthetic beauty to interior spaces.

The craftsmanship of Ranma reflects centuries of Japanese woodworking tradition, with intricate carvings showcasing the skill and artistry of the artisans. The combination of sugi and kiri wood enhances the piece's durability and elegance, making it a timeless symbol of Japanese craftsmanship and cultural heritage.
