Antique Double Sided Japanese Ranma Transom Panels - a Pair
About the Item
19th/20th c., Antique hand-carved Japanese ramna panels depicting landscapes of black pine trees, temples, mountains and clouds. Likely carved from yaku cedar in the Osaka tradition of chokokuranma (carved transom), these are double sided three-dimensional landscape designs. The design is mirrored on each side of the panel.
Ranma panels are typically found in traditional dwellings and are a staple of classical Japanese architecture. Placed above shoji or fusuma sliding doors, they allow light and air flow between rooms.
At just over 6 feet in horizontal length, each panel can be repurposed in a multitude of ways; wall art, headboard, backed by a mirror to brighten a dark space, to define a space within a space and on and on.
