This is a high-quality vintage Japanese folding screen (Byobu), traditionally used as a grand backdrop for formal doll displays. The surface is finished in a deep, glossy black lacquer (Roiro-nuri style), providing a stunning contrast with the gold "Makie" designs. The motif depicts the "Sho-Chiku-Bai" (Pine, Bamboo, and Plum), which is the most auspicious combination in Japan, symbolizing resilience, vitality, and longevity. The corners are protected by elaborate gold-plated metal fittings (Kanagu) with floral engravings, adding a luxurious touch. It consists of two pairs of 2-panel screens, which can be arranged together to form a 4-panel display. At 54cm in height, it is an impactful size, perfect for an interior accent on a sideboard or shelf. Condition Report: Excellent vintage condition. The lacquer retains a beautiful luster.
