AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A minimalistic six-panel folding screen byōbu (屏風) of the Maruyama–Shijō School, painted in ink on paper with a tranquil landscape built through subtle monochrome gradations.
The remarkable restraint of the composition is central to the work, where the extensive areas of empty space become an integral part of the landscape, creating a profound sense of stillness, distance and atmosphere.
Across the lower section, low hills, vegetation and sparse trees gradually emerge from the mist. To the right, a large rock formation is defined by broad washes of diluted ink, while a solitary bird in flight in the upper section emphasises the breadth of the composition.
Signed and with two seals at the lower right.
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 to the paper and staining. Wear to the lacquered frame. Please refer to the pictures for further details.
The item will be carefully packed and shipped accompanied by the original certificate of authenticity issued by Mastromauro Japanese art gallery based in Milan, Italy.
