🎎 Japanese Brass Fusuma Door Pull – Rooster & Hen – Mid-Showa Era – Japan Antique Roadshow

€45.80

🎎 This is an original Japanese fusuma (sliding door) finger pull, hand-crafted in solid brass and etched with a charming scene of a rooster and hen standing beneath what appears to be a simple elevated structure or lantern. Once part of a traditional interior, these fixtures balanced daily function with subtle artistic expression, reflecting the Japanese aesthetic of finding beauty in utility.

The piece likely dates to the mid-Showa era (1926–1989), with this example probably originating between the 1950s and 1970s. The brass has developed a soft, natural patina through age and use, while the etched imagery reflects folk themes commonly appreciated in Japanese decorative motifs. Though its exact symbolic intent is unknown, designs of this kind were often selected for their pleasant and auspicious appearance. Fully serviceable for restoration or repurposing, it also makes a distinctive decorative display piece.
