A stunning medium-sized six-panel byôbu 屏風 (folding screen) featuring a Kanô School-style painting depicting an idyllic nature landscape. A slender, curving Japanese apricot tree 梅 (ume) stands gracefully beside a lush pink peony 牡丹 (botan) in full bloom, while several Japanese tits 四十雀 (shijûkara) scurry around or perch on a branch. The gentle hillside is dotted with flowers, including white narcissus 水仙 (suisen), white chrysanthemums 菊 (kiku), and vivid red asters 野菊 (nogiku), nestled among soft blades of pampas grass 薄 (susuki). The tranquil scene is enveloped by drifting clouds of gold-leaf specks, evoking a serene and timeless atmosphere. Executed in colour and ink on mulberry paper with gold-leaf accents. The composition is bordered by two silk brocade bands: a slender brown inner trim and a broader green-blue outer one. And set within a black lacquered wooden frame fitted with protective copper hardware.
