item and its origin

A Japanese six-panel folding screen dating from the Edo to Meiji period, featuring a continuous panoramic landscape with figures on a gold-sprinkled ground.

The composition depicts a wintry mountain landscape with snow-covered trees, rugged peaks, winding waterways, traditional buildings and small groups of people dressed in historical Japanese clothing. Across the six panels, the scenery unfolds as a continuous panorama, with bridges, riverside pathways and architectural structures connecting the different sections.

The softly rendered mountains and flowing water create a sense of depth, while the gold-sprinkled background adds a subtle decorative luminosity to the scene. The combination of landscape painting and human activity gives the screen an engaging balance between natural scenery and traditional life.

The work is executed on paper with ink and mineral pigments, presented in a traditional wooden folding-screen structure.
