AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A two-panel folding screen with a red paper ground, which together with horizontally applied gold powder, evoking a light haze, suggests the warm light of sunset, enriched with gold flakes. The composition depicts a flowering cherry tree (sakura), rendered with a sinuous trunk and dense pale blossoms.
A wooden frame completes and protects the piece.
The screen can also be easily mounted on a wall or used as a room divider.
Byōbu, 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 consistent with age. Please refer to the pictures for further details.
The item will be carefully packed and shipped via DHL or FedEx, accompanied by the original certificate of authenticity issued by Mastromauro Japanese art gallery based in Milan, Italy.
