About the Item

This is a one-panel wooden door made in Japan around the 20th century. The material used is presumed to be Japanese cypress or Japanese cedar, and the delicately straight grain of the wood stands quietly as a background without interfering with the beauty of the painting. The painting depicts a scene of a bamboo grove stretching out in a dignified manner. Rather than being powerful, the slender and delicate bamboo trunks and leaves are composed with plenty of blank space, and the tranquility of the scene is such that one can almost feel the sound of the wind blowing through the scene. The extremely detailed depiction of the bamboo joints and leaves is not mere decoration, but a complete work of painting. The artist's signature and seal remain on the lower right, suggesting that this is the work of a single artist, but the details are unknown. There are traces of having been originally used as a door, with metal fittings on the left side and three hinge marks on the right side of the frame. It is possible to use it as a fixture again, but I personally recommend hanging it on the wall and enjoying it as a work of art, as if it were a cutout of a Japanese folding screen. The size is 75.5cm wide, 179.2cm high, and 5.65kg in weight, making it easy to handle as a wall-hanging piece. Although there are some scuffs and minor scratches associated with use, they are all evidence of the longevity of the work and do not detract from its charm. Bamboo designs with such excellent composition and airiness are extremely rare and have a deep flavor that cannot be obtained from modern mass-produced products. It will harmonize with modern Japanese spaces and interiors that value tranquility, and will bring a sense of calm and aesthetics to your daily life. It is a very tasteful product with a unique beauty. Weight: 5.65 kg

Japanese antique wooden storage shelf/ Early 20th century/Wooden cabinet
Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba
This is a vertical wooden storage cabinet made of Japanese cedar in the first half of the 20th century. Although it is unknown where it was used, its appearance oozes a beauty that transcends practical use. The rustic feel of the material and its quiet presence give it a nostalgic warmth not found in modern furniture. This piece is made entirely of solid Japanese cedar, and the simple and disciplined structure of the vertical cleats, especially on the doors, and the cedar planks passed horizontally and overlapping from the reverse side, bring a perfect balance and rhythm to the overall look of the piece. This kind of design reveals a uniquely Japanese sense of design. The deep candy-colored texture created by the aging process is a taste that only antique pieces can have. The subtle changes in color from suntanning and areas touched by the hand tell a quiet story of the passage of time. The doors are simple and close with small wooden stoppers, preserving the practicality and warmth of the past. The shelves are securely fastened and provide ample storage capacity. Books, clothes, daily necessities, and various other items can be beautifully organized. The backs and shelves are stained and worn from use, and there are also some holes repaired on the sides and small chips. In a modern living space, this shelf can be used as a shelf in a study, as an accent in a living room, or as a quiet corner of a room where one spends quiet time alone, bringing a sense of calmness and flavor to the entire space. These long, locker-like proportions of antique shelves...
