Vintage Japanese Shoin Panels - 1950s Showa Era (25D-131-1)

Vintage Japanese Shoin Panels (SKU 25D-131-1)

Showa-era shoin ranma-style panels with Mt. Fuji, pines, and sailing boats in delicate openwork

This elegant pair of vintage Japanese shoin panels captures a classic landscape in finely worked kiri-style lattice. A stylized Mt. Fuji rises above flowing clouds, while gentle waves carry small sailing boats beneath windswept matsu (pine) branches. The composition recalls traditional shoin and ranma transoms, where light, air, and seasonal scenery are woven into the architecture itself.

Crafted in the mid-Showa period, the frames and slender kumiko strips are precisely joined, with the carved motifs applied in low relief for a crisp yet understated presence. Ideal installed as interior shoin panels, room dividers, or wall-mounted art, they bring an authentic Japanese aesthetic and a serene sense of movement to both traditional and contemporary spaces.

We use professional studio lighting to highlight the natural character of the wood. As a result, the tone may appear slightly warmer than under natural daylight.
