A six-panel folding screen painted on silk depicting a cherry tree in bloom stretching gracefully across the entire surface. The dark branches contrast with the delicate white blossoms announcing the arrival of spring. Bamboo leaves at the base complete the composition. Signed and sealed by the artist in the lower right corner. Cherry blossoms (sakura, 桜) embody the transient beauty of life, renewal, and the ephemeral nature of existence. It is one of the most celebrated motifs in Japanese art. 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 good condition, with minor wear consistent with age. Some areas show minor stains due to 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. 380
