Japanese Fine Hand Carved Pair Flying Cranes With Matsu Trees Ranma Screen

About the Item

Japan, a fine hand carved wooden screen "ranma" or transom featuring a spectacular composition of a pair (2) of finely carved flying cranes among matsu trees executed in kuri (chestnut wood), circa 1950s. In Japan, the crane, or tsuru, is a national treasure and is considered the bird of happiness. It is depicted in art, literature, and mythology as a symbol of good luck and longevity because it is said to live 1,000 years. Hand carved and meticulously detailed in light original natural color make this imposing wildlife screen a must consideration. Notice the simple and fine details. One of a kind.  Very good condition. One of a pair- please review our second listing that is currently available and that would make a fine match to this ranma. Dimensions: 16 inches high and 67.25 inches length, perfect for wall mounting About Japanese Ranma: Architectural details called ranma are often found above doors in traditional Japanese houses and buildings. These details can be anything from simple shoji style dividers to elaborate wooden carvings allowing air to pass through. Lifetime guarantee of authenticity. All of our Asian works of art come with our lifetime authenticity guarantee.
