Japanese Kyoto Embroidered Screen
About the Item
This is a finely stitched Kyoto embroidery screen that dates to the Meiji Era (1868 - 1912). Kyoto has been celebrated for its skilled artistic embroidery since the early 8th century.
In the Meiji Era Kyoto embroideries became increasingly desirable due the the Japonisme craze of the second half of the century. Kyoto embroideries were acquired by the major households, palaces and museums. This example has survived in very good condition for over 100 years. Silk is a fragile material and it is apparent that this screen was treated with respect. Due to the design of screen, with all unnecessary elements eliminated, the screen could be placed in a traditional or period designed room as well as in a modern setting.

- Circa 1700 Japanese Screen Pair, Cranes & Pines, Kyoto Kano SchoolLocated in Kyoto, JPPines and Cranes Anonymous. Kyoto Kano School. Late 17th/early 18th centuries, circa 1700. Pair of six-panel Japanese folding screens. Ink, gofun, pigment and gold leaf on paper. This bold composition presents two pine trees extending to the left and right across a gold leaf background. One tree is silhouetted against a green ground, golden clouds obscuring its true size, the other stretches across a stylized waterway. The pines are paired with Manchurian cranes with red crests and snow white plumage. Both have been highly auspicious motifs in East Asia since Chinese antiquity. Here the artist utilized fluid and instinctive ink brushstrokes to define the trunk, branches and tail feathers, in strong contrast to the precision and sharp angularity of the crane’s legs and beaks. The adoption of this vast metallic painting support required an unerring sense of design and composition, so that the negative space surrounding motifs could imply context for the otherwise floating pictorial elements.
