AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A Japanese four-panel byōbu folding screen in ink on silk against a pale ground, depicting Mount Fuji rising above a mountainous landscape traversed by a watercourse.
In the foreground, rocky outcrops, pine trees, and woodland surround a small village and a bridge with what appears to be a traveller, while a waterfall cascades down the cliffs on the right.
Delicate ink gradations and subtle washes convey a sense of depth.
Signed and sealed at the lower left.
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 very good condition, with minor wear and stains consistent with age. 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.
