This group of artists and craftsmen depicted samurai society, elaborate landscapes and sacred sites on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/buy\/japanese-scroll\/\">hanging scrolls<\/a>, sliding doors, wall paintings and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/asian-art-furniture\/paintings-screens\/origin\/japanese\/\">folding screens<\/a>, all under the sponsorship of the ruling military, the aristocracy, the clergy and the merchant class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The precision seen today in Japanese arts and crafts has its roots in Kano\u2019s rigorous organization: The branches of the school were ranked and operated like a well oiled machine, with each one serving various segments of society. At the top were the four most prestigious art families, the Okueshi, or inner court painters. Below them were the Omote-eshi, or outer court painters, followed by the Machi Kano, who catered to wealthy townspeople. One of the elite Okueshi families, the Kobikicho Kano, produced the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/asian-art-furniture\/paintings-screens\/japanese-screen-pair-circa-1730-peacocks-phoenix-kano-school\/id-f_19431222\/\">pair of 18th-century screens<\/a> featured here.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/asian-art-furniture\/paintings-screens\/japanese-screen-pair-circa-1730-peacocks-phoenix-kano-school\/id-f_19431222\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"723\" height=\"950\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ddd_master-723x950.webp\" alt=\"Detail of a peacock depicted on a Japanese screen\" class=\"wp-image-422679\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ddd_master-723x950.webp 723w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ddd_master-266x350.webp 266w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ddd_master-91x120.webp 91w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ddd_master-768x1009.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ddd_master-1169x1536.webp 1169w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ddd_master-710x933.webp 710w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ddd_master.webp 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 723px) 100vw, 723px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">One screen depicts a pair of peacocks, a detail of which is shown here.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u201cPieces like this were commissioned by high-ranking military officials of the Tokugawa shogunate,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/dealers\/kristan-hauge-japanese-art\/\">Kristan Hauge<\/a>, whose eponymous gallery, in Kyoto\u2019s museum district, specializes in antique and modern folding screens and scroll paintings and is offering these screens on 1stDibs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They \u201cwould have been brought out and displayed in a private residence only on special occasions,&#8221; adds Hauge, &#8220;which would have included a visit by another military official or high-ranking religious figure. Afterwards, they would have been folded up and put back into storage.\u201d During such a visit, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/asian-art-furniture\/paintings-screens\/\">screens<\/a> would have been placed directly behind the seated owner, to signal his allegiance to the emperor, as well as his personal wealth and power. \u201cThe rulers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/style\/edo\/\">of this time period<\/a> were the Tokugawa shogunate, and their goal was the stability and continuity of feudal society,\u201d says Hauge, referring to the military dictatorship that governed Japan from 1603 to 1868. It was a period of relative tranquility and unity in Japan after the chaos of the violent Sengoku period that preceded it. Paintings like these were intended to communicate the continuity of rule. (Tokugawa shogunate made its capital the city of Edo, now Tokyo.)<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/asian-art-furniture\/paintings-screens\/japanese-screen-pair-circa-1730-peacocks-phoenix-kano-school\/id-f_19431222\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"843\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ggg_master-950x843.webp\" alt=\"This Japanese screen shows a phoenix perched on a paulownia tree\" class=\"wp-image-422676\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ggg_master-950x843.webp 950w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ggg_master-394x350.webp 394w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ggg_master-120x107.webp 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ggg_master-768x682.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ggg_master-1051x933.webp 1051w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ggg_master.webp 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The other screen shows a phoenix perched on a paulownia tree.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The two screens, with their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/asian-art-furniture\/paintings-screens\/material\/gold-leaf\/\">gold-leaf<\/a> backgrounds, were created by the artist Tsunetake Yotei, who depicted on one a pair of frolicking peacocks and on the other a phoenix. \u201cPeacocks were meant to convey high status, wealth and power,\u201d Hauge explains. The mythical phoenix, meanwhile, \u201cwas a symbol of peace. The idea was that a phoenix would only appear in a kingdom blessed with prosperity during the reign of a virtuous emperor. The paulownia tree (often called a princess tree), on which the phoenix is perched, was considered sacred \u2014 together, they carried strong auspicious connotations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"interstitial-banner interstitial-banner-collection interstitial-container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-content\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-background-image\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/34533682_datamatics-1000x300.webp\" class=\"attachment-interstitial size-interstitial\" alt=\"Japanese screen\" \/>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container interstitial-text\">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"interstitial-link-around-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/asian-art-furniture\/paintings-screens\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-heading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tShop Asian Screens on 1stDibs\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-subheading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"gold-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/asian-art-furniture\/paintings-screens\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span>View All<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For roughly 300 years, starting in the 15th century, Japanese art experienced a golden age, thanks to the Edo-based Kano school, the longest-lived and most influential school of painting in Japanese history.
