This superb classic Japanese "Seasons" screen captures the essence of the season with cheerful birds and a blossoming cherry tree nestled by a churning mountain stream. In Japanese art, screens depicting all four seasons, known as "Shiki-e," hold deep symbolic meaning. They represent the cyclical nature of life, the passage of time, and the harmony between humanity and the natural world. Each season carries its own unique symbolism, from the rejuvenation of spring to the introspection of winter, inviting viewers to contemplate the fleeting yet eternal beauty of existence. In the aristocratic villas of Japan, screens depicting the seasons were cherished for their ability to mirror the present seasons of nature, offering a connection to the ever-changing rhythms of the natural world. Painted on paper canvas in the later part of the Edo period, during the 18th to 19th centuries, this screen is a testament to the enduring allure of Japanese artistry and its profound appreciation for the beauty of each passing season.
