These Japanese antique fusuma handles are a set of two bronze door handles crafted in the 1890s, designed specifically for Japanese sliding doors. Each handmade brass handle features a blooming plum tree design set against the traditional Genji incense pattern, making them authentic Japanese room partition fittings that bring historical charm and elegance to your space. Measuring approximately 2.9 inches square and weighing 53 grams each, these ornamental sliding door pulls combine functionality with vintage Japanese furniture artistry.


The handles are made from durable brass, offering longevity and rustic antique door hardware appeal. Their handcrafted nature means each piece shows subtle variations in color and shape, adding unique character to every handle. Despite their age, they remain in good condition with some natural scratches and minor dents that reflect their history and use over time.

These fusuma door handle sets embody the cultural concept of SHITURAU, which means matching or harmonizing spaces, a practice dating back to Japan’s Heian period. Samurai families often used crest-shaped handles to express dignity and seasonality in their homes, and these handles continue that tradition with their symbolic plum blossom motif—representing renewal and beauty in Japanese culture.


The Genji incense pattern featured on these handles originates from a classic game involving fragrant woods, with this particular design being one of fifty-two variations. This suggests that the sliding doors fitted with these pulls were likely part of a room dedicated to the appreciation of incense—a refined cultural practice.


Each handle's back plate shows partial discoloration and signs of aging, enhancing its rustic antique door hardware charm while confirming its authenticity as vintage Japanese furniture fittings. These handles are perfect for collectors, restorers, or anyone looking to add traditional Japanese decor elements to their home or workspace.
