AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A two-panel silk screen (屏風, byōbu) decorated with an elegant composition of green leaves and grain heads swaying in the wind. In the lower right corner, a sparrow is depicted, rendered with delicate naturalistic detail.
The scene, marked by simplicity, reflects the Japanese sensibility for minimal subjects and the fleeting beauty of nature, leaving ample empty space that invites quiet contemplation.
Signed and sealed by the artist on the left panel.
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 (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 good condition, with some stains and minor wear to the paper along the joints and to the lacquered frame, 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.
