Large Japanese 2-Panel Byôbu 屏風 'Room Divider' with Painting of Bamboo & a Poem
Located in Amsterdam, NL
Beautiful, large two-panel byôbu (room divider) with a serene painting of red-leaved bamboo and rocks on an oxidized silver leaf background. Silver leaf continuously undergoes the process of oxidation, which creates a beautiful aged patina.
On the left an inscription from a ‘Zekku’ poem by the Chinese poet Yang Zai (1271?1323), titled: Shan shang zhu (bamboo (painted) on a fan).
Translated as :
Why would people plant a lot of bamboos?
The shade of a single culm is also beautiful.
In the autumn night it rocks on the wind,
And the fresh sound echoes in my dream.
Dated: Shôwa, the year kôshin (1938). Signature unknown...

China Large Steep Mountain Peaks Natural Marble Stone "Painting", Signed
Located in South Burlington, VT
Steep Mountain Peaks - Chinese extraordinary natural marble stone painting of a mythical sky and high mountains landscape called a dream stone Shih-hua.
It is a large monumental masterwork of nature. Totally natural.
Dimensions:
Hardwood frame: 38.25 inches tall and 17.5 inches width
Site: 35 inches tall and 14 inches width

Antique Asian Paintings and Screens
Traditional Asian paintings were often created on scrolls and folding screens. Artisans made screens that could be folded up or spread out by connecting several panels using hinges. Today, antique Asian folding screens and paintings are sophisticated decorative accents that can serve as makeshift partitions to ensure privacy.
The original folding screens were created by Chinese artists. The earliest record of screens comes from the 2nd century B.C., and surviving examples date back to the Ming dynasty. Chinese painting utilizes many of the same tools as calligraphy — these screens were crafted from wood with painted panels featuring striking art or calligraphy that told cultural stories or represented nature and life in the area.
The practice was introduced to Japan, where paintings for screens were made on paper and silk, in the 8th century. These paintings frequently feature subjects such as landscapes, animals, flowers and Buddhist religious themes. Along with screens for tea ceremonies and dance backgrounds, there were screens for use in Shinto and Buddhist temples.
In the 17th century, screens began to be imported to Europe where their popularity grew. Coco Chanel famously collected Coromandel folding screens.
Traditional Asian paintings can make a tasteful addition to any wall, and screens can be used as decoration or, in the case of larger iterations, as an aesthetic way to divide a large room. Browse the selection of antique Asian paintings and screens from a variety of styles and eras on 1stDibs.
