AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An attractive six-panel folding screen 屏風 (byôbu) with a painting in the style of the Maruyama–Shijô school.
A gnarled plum tree extends across the panels, its slender, largely bare branches bearing the first small blossoms. Open space and softly speckled gold surround the tree, creating a misty atmosphere.
Executed in ink on mulberry paper with gold-leaf accents. Set in a vibrant red lacquer frame. Signed and sealed at the lower right.
Dimensions:
Height 170.4 cm, Total width: 376 cm (2 x 64.2 cm, 4 x 61.9 cm).
Period: Japan - Taishô period (1912–1926).
In very good condition, with some browning and minor wear consistent with age on both sides. Please refer to the photographs for a clear condition reference.
The folding screen is ideal for mounting flat on a wall and presenting as a single work of art, but can of course also be displayed as a standalone piece.
When shipped, a certificate of authenticity will be included.
