AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A lovely tall six-panel byôbu 屏風 (folding screen), featuring a serene Kanô School-style painting executed on a radiant gold leaf ground, depicting an enchanting spring landscape.
The composition centres around an ancient, gnarled pine tree 松 (matsu), its sweeping branches extending over the water. The rocky shoreline beneath is richly planted with peonies 牡丹 (botan) in shades of deep red and soft pink, growing amongst moss-covered rocks and Japanese dwarf bamboo 笹 (sasa). A pair of ducks glide across the tranquil water while another descends in flight above them. On the opposite shore, withered reeds stretch over a rocky outcrop where a pair of small birds perch. Large drifting clouds of dense and sprinkled gold frame the tranquil landscape.
Executed in colour and ink on mulberry paper against a shimmering gold leaf background. The painting is bordered by two patterned brocade silk trims. The screen is set within a black lacquered wooden frame fitted with engraved gilt metal mounts decorated with scrolling foliage..
Period: Japan – Taishô period (1912-1926)
Dimensions:
Total width: 361.6 cm (2 x 61.6 cm and 4 x 59.6 cm); Height: 171.8 cm.
The screen is in very good restored condition with expected age-related wear on both sides. The hinges have been reinforced and a gold leaf patch-up upper right hinge. Please refer to the photographs for a clear impression of the condition.
The folding screen is well suited for mounting flat on a wall as a decorative work of art, but can also be displayed as a standalone piece.
When shipped we will add a certificate of authenticity.
