About the Item

A beautiful and rare tall two-panel byôbu (folding screen) decorated with a colourful collection of sensu (folding fans) scattered across a flowing stream, crafted from pieces of silk partially adorned with nihon shishû (Japanese embroidery). The open fans each display a different artistic motif: floral and auspicious patterns, a delicate kachôga (bird-and-flower painting), and even a lively genre scene of Edo-period daily life. They are placed on a paper ground painted with turbulent white waves, interspersed with square fragments of silk, each lavishly decorated with its own scene. The result is a striking and vibrant composition, rich in colour and detail. Encased in a black lacquered wooden frame with protective metal fittings. Dimensions: Total width 74.4 in/189 cm (2 × 37.20 in/94.5 cm); Height 68.58 in/174.2 cm. The folding screen is ideal for mounting flat on a wall and presenting as a single work of art, but can of course also be placed as a standalone piece. Price including insured shipping. When shipped we will add a certificate of authenticity.
