Description from the seller

A two-panel screen painted on paper with gold powder, decorated with refined reserves in the shape of silk fans (ōgi, 扇) and scrolls.

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 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.
