AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A six-panel paper screen painted in sumi ink with applications of gold dust, depicting a lakeside landscape animated by groups of Tang-dynasty nobles engaged in outdoor activities.
The mountains in the background, rendered with light brushstrokes, create a sense of depth.

The panels are framed by two elegant silk borders, while a lacquered wooden frame completes and protects the screen.

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 minor age-related wear, stains, and imperfections to the paper. There are small paper restorations across the surface and minor pigment losses. 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.
