About the Item

This man's honor is here, and he is honored in the same way now as he was in the past.” It's a tribute to a great man. The calligraphy is ink on paper, probably from the end of the Edo period. It was probably written by a monk. It fits well with the silver cloth binding and is a lovely gem. It is a beautiful gem. It is tanned and has some tears. You can see a small hole at the bottom of the second one from the left. Please understand that it is an old item. ※Please handle with care as the connections of the folding screens are prone to weakening. They are connected with paper, not hinges, using a special technique Please note that the outermost back is prone to sunburn, so it is in the condition shown in the photo.
