Each panel features a hand-painted portrait and poem from the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu, set against a gold-leaf ground and framed in black-lacquered wood. Traditional dark metal pulls with paulownia-crest motifs complete the refined architectural design. The four illustrated poets are: - Ariwara no Narihira (在原業平朝臣) — courtier and one of the Six Poetic Immortals. - Ki no Tsurayuki (紀貫之) — leading poet and compiler of the Kokin Wakashū. - Chūnagon Kanesuke (中納言兼輔 / 藤原兼輔) — courtier celebrated for his love poetry. - Ono no Komachi (小野小町) — legendary beauty and the only woman among the Six Poetic Immortals. The reverse sides retain printed karakami paper with fans and auspicious motifs. A striking surviving set of Japanese interior panels, also suitable for decorative wall display with appropriate mounting hardware. Condition: antique condition with age-related toning, stains, abrasions, small losses and pinholes to the painted and gold-leaf surfaces.
