This vintage Japanese ranma (transom) showcases a stunning geometric pattern crafted in the kumiko style, a traditional woodworking technique that involves fitting together small, delicate pieces of wood without the use of nails or glue. The precise latticework not only adds visual depth but also reflects the meticulous craftsmanship that defines this art form.

Ranma panels are used in traditional Japanese architecture above doors or between rooms, designed to allow light and airflow while serving as an artistic element. The kumiko technique in ranma often incorporates symbolic patterns, like asanoha (hemp leaf) or kikkō (tortoise shell), which are believed to offer protection and good fortune. This piece blends both function and artistry, creating an elegant and serene atmosphere in any space.
