Description from the seller

Short description of the item and its origin
This exquisite Japanese two-panel folding screen (Byobu, 二曲屏风) features a delicate hand-painted bird-and-flower motif (Kacho-ga) on silk, signed and stamped by the artist Gyokko Chojin (玉江钓人). The painting vividly depicts songbirds among blossoming flora, leafy branches, and natural rockwork. Framed by luxurious patterned gold-leaf borders and finished with a dark wood frame accented by metal corner protectors, this screen exemplifies classic Japanese craftsmanship and natural elegance.
