Japanese ‘Ranma (欄間)’ refer to a traditional wooden transom or decorative panel typically found above sliding doors or partitions in traditional Japanese architecture.
Ranma are intricately crafted and often feature intricate carvings or latticework, depicting natural motifs, geometric patterns, or scenes from folklore and mythology. These panels serve both functional and aesthetic purposes, allowing for airflow and natural light while also adding beauty and elegance to interior spaces.
Ranma panels are valued for their craftsmanship, cultural significance, and contribution to the overall ambiance of traditional Japanese buildings.
This set of exquisite Antique Ranma showcases a captivating depiction of pine, bamboo, and plum, traditionally considered auspicious plants for the New Year. The pine tree symbolises peace and longevity, as it retains its green and vitality even in the harsh winter. The bamboo represents resilience and safety, as it remains sturdy and unyielding, maintaining its green colour and flexibility even under the weight of snow. The plum tree embodies liveliness and beauty, blooming vibrantly amidst the snow, symbolising hope and the promise of new beginnings.

In modern homes, Ranma can be proudly displayed on a wall in any room, serving as a striking focal point. Its versatility makes it a convenient option for infusing instant Japanese elegance into your space, adding a touch of traditional charm and sophistication.
