Description from the seller
This is a charming four-panel miniature folding screen depicting a lively tatami-room entertainment scene, painted in an Edo-period aesthetic. The artwork shows men and women enjoying various pastimes, including music, conversation, and courtly gathering, all set within a traditional architectural interior.
The lower section features elegant iris (菖蒲, shōbu) and a garden with flowing water and a pine tree, connecting indoor and outdoor spaces in classic Japanese style.
Although the back shows some peeling due to age, the painted surfaces remain vibrant and beautifully preserved.
