A two-panel paper screen decorated with overlapping squares of gold leaf, arranged irregularly to create a dynamic and luminous surface. Some lighter squares veer towards silver, creating a sense of depth. A wooden frame completes and protects the piece. The screen can also be easily mounted on a wall or used as a room divider. Byōbu (屏風), literally “wind protection screens,” are traditional Japanese folding screens originally created to divide spaces and today appreciated above all as striking wall-mounted paintings. ---The byobu is in good condition, with minor wear and small defects to the gold leaf, consistent with age. Please refer to the pictures for further details. The item will be carefully packed and shipped via DHL or FedEx, accompanied by the original certificate of authenticity issued by Mastromauro Japanese art gallery based in Milan, Italy. 359
