Japanese Asian Signed Four-Panel Folding Byobu Showa Lotus Tree Nature Screen

About the Item

A truly gorgeous four-panel Japanese Byobu folding screen depicting a nature scene with a lotus tree in full bloom. The subtle yet rich colors, gold leaf, and beautiful hand-painted detail of the tree and hanging fruit make this an attractive and special work. We have not seen another screen quite like it so unique in this respect. Signed and sealed in red ink by the artist. Original decorative period brass hardware adds another wonderful touch. This beautiful hand-painted gem of a screen is sure to stand out in almost any setting whether used as a small divider or hung on the wall as a work of art. Would also be a great addition to any Japanese or Asian screen/art collection. Dimensions: 36" high, 70.5" wide, .6" deep. Folded dimensions: 36" high, 18" wide, 2.75" deep.
