AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A Japanese six-panel folding screen (byōbu, 屏風) painted on a golden background, depicting a pine tree (matsu, 松) with lush green foliage and a powerful trunk, a traditional Japanese symbol of longevity and strength.
The composition is enriched with bamboo (take, 竹) and blooming plum (ume, 梅) at the base of the pine, representing resilience and renewal.
A wooden frame completes and protects the piece. Signed and sealed by the artist in the lower right corner.
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 signs of wear due to age and a slight color variation on the first panel to the left. 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.
