Each scroll presents a hand-painted scene set within a fan-shaped vignette, offering a glimpse into the courtly life of a bygone era. One scroll portrays a nobleman seated by a window, gazing across a river towards the dwelling of a noblewoman, who is depicted in the companion scroll engaged in an activity at her desk. The artwork stands out for its romantic representation of Heian-period aesthetics, as it subtly narrates a story of distance and longing between the figures. Each fan is set against a background embellished with a delicate leaf pattern, suggestive of the opulence and refined taste of the period. The scrolls are finished with resin ends, a detail that complements the overall historical feel. Age has left its mark on these scrolls in the form of slight smudges, stains, and some peeling of the paper, details that can be seen in the accompanying photographs. Enclosed in a wood box (which is not original to the pair), they make for a captivating and conversation-starting addition to any collection of Japanese antiques or artworks. Dimensions of each one: approx. H 57 cm W 60.5 cm ・Please make sure to review all the provided information and images before placing your bid. ・We make every effort to accurately represent the product's colors and textures in our photos.
