A gold leaf six-panel byobu folding screen with narrative scenes - Paper

A Japanese six-panel folding screen painted on gold leaf, presenting numerous narrative episodes set within and around elegant architectural interiors. The composition unfolds as a succession of distinct scenes distributed across the entire surface and separated by broad gold clouds. Through their openings appear palace and residential interiors, terraces, gardens and landscapes, populated by numerous figures engaged in conversation, encounters, domestic activities and leisurely pursuits. The expansive areas of gold serve not merely as a background but as a structural element, separating the individual episodes while bringing them together within a unified composition. The screen is finished with silk borders and a lacquered wooden frame. 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 to the gold leaf at the joints, wear to the silk and lacquer frame and a hole on the back. Please refer to the pictures for further details. The item will be carefully packed and shipped accompanied by the original certificate of authenticity issued by Mastromauro Japanese art gallery based in Milan, Italy. 013
