These bronze fusuma handles are authentic Japanese antique handles designed as a set of two vintage brass handles featuring a ginkgo leaf motif, perfect for enhancing traditional Japan house parts and adding historic home accessories charm. Each handmade door handle measures approximately 3.1 inches (8 cm) in height and width, with a depth of 0.4 inches (1 cm), weighing 1.5 ounces (43 grams) per piece. Crafted from durable brass, these fusuma door hardware pieces were originally used as decorative door pulls on Japanese sliding doors, known as fusuma, which serve as room partitions in traditional Japanese homes.
The unique ginkgo leaf motif is not only decorative but symbolic, representing longevity and resilience, as ginkgo trees can live for hundreds of years and were historically planted near shrines to protect buildings from fire. These fireproof door fittings combine cultural significance with practical design, making them an elegant addition to any antique Japanese decor collection.
Each pair of handles shows beautifully aged patina with subtle color and shape variations due to their handmade nature. Small nail holes on the back plates facilitate easy installation. Although there are minor scratches and dents consistent with age, the handles remain in good condition and add authentic character to your space. These decorative door pulls are ideal for collectors or anyone restoring traditional Japanese room partitions.
