Description from the seller

This is a beautiful vintage Japanese "Furosaki Byobu" (2-panel folding screen), traditionally used in the tea ceremony to define the space around the hearth.
It features intricate wooden lattice work (Kumiko style) that frames a serene landscape painting of mountains depicted with gold dust on a silver-tone background.

The frame is finished in a deep reddish-brown lacquer, giving it a dignified appearance.
The contrast between the geometric lattice and the soft, organic brushwork of the landscape creates a modern and sophisticated "Zen" atmosphere.
It is perfect not only for tea ceremonies but also as a stylish interior accent or room divider on a shelf.

[ Condition ]
Excellent vintage condition.
The lattice work is intact, and the painting retains its brilliance.
Please refer to the photos for details.

[ Dimensions ]
Total Width (fully extended): approx. 84 cm
(Each panel: 42 cm wide)
Height: 60 cm
Weight: 3 kg
