Japanese Four-Panel Shoji Room Divider with Crane and Pine Relief

Item Details

This four-panel folding room divider is a classic execution of the Japanese shoji style, likely produced in the late 20th century. The screen features a sturdy black lacquered wood frame housing translucent panels designed to diffuse light. The central visual field is adorned with applied light-wood relief carvings depicting cranes in flight among gnarled pine branches, transitioning seamlessly across the four panels. The upper and side sections feature vertical lattice work, while the bottom panels are accented with stylized white-on-black floral and scrollwork designs. The panels are joined by robust brass-toned hinges, allowing for versatile positioning as a freestanding architectural element or decorative backdrop.
