Six-panel Japanese byōbu folding screen from Japan, dating to the SHOWA era (c. 1975–1990), height 55 cm, width 113 cm (unfolded), depth 1.5 cm, in good condition with minor wear and age stains, featuring genuine Kanazawa gold leaf, red and gold silk brocade borders, and gilded metal fittings, with the back covered in black fabric with a white rosette motif, and noting that the official Nihon Dentō Kōgeihin label has been lost though its twin is offered for authentication.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Magnificent and large traditional six-panel Japanese miniature folding screen (Rokubuchi Byōbu), dating from the late Shōwa era (circa 1975-1990). This exceptional piece stands out for its craftsmanship and authenticity; unfortunately, unlike its twin which will be put up for sale, this one has LOST its official state gold macaron “Nihon Dentō Kōgeihin” (日本伝統工芸品) label, a highly regulated mark certifying Traditional Japanese Art crafts made by time-honored methods. The Kanazawa Gold Leaf confirms the provenance of the gilding: “Kanazawa Haku” (金沢箔). The inner panels of this Kin-byōbu are covered with genuine gold leaf applied by hand, as evidenced by the delicate square joint lines visible in light. High-quality finishes: the inner borders are outlined by superb red and gold silk brocade trims (Kire). The corners and hinges are protected by gilded metal fittings (Kanamono) bearing traditional motifs of stylized chrysanthemums. The reverse (back panel) is elegantly dressed in black fabric adorned with a geometric motif of white rosettes. Important dimensions: Height 55 cm with a total unfolded width of 113 cm. ATTENTION: it no longer has its Official Macaron, but its Twin is being sold in this sale, which allows us to authenticate this Wonder. Happy bidding to all.
As with all my items auctioned on this site, this marvel has undergone no cleaning (just dusting) and no modification since purchase.
Happy bidding to all.
