Japanese Chinese Asian Large Six-Panel Folding Byobu Screen Mythical Landscape

About the Item

A gorgeous, strangely beautiful, unusually engaging, and alluring hand-painted large six-panel Japanese/Asian Byobu folding screen depicting an almost magical/ mythical nature scene with flowing waterfalls, crashing ocean waves, and a blackened swirling sun. Various characters, animals, and creatures interact within the landscape seemingly engaged in various acts of magic and mysticism. We believe this screen is a Japanese Kano school painting done in the Chinese style and depicts characters from a Chinese folklore tale. The Kano school, which was founded by Kano Masanobu, is one of the most famous schools of Japanese painting. The Kano school of painting was the dominant style of painting from the late 15th century until the Meiji period which began in 1868. The school began by reflecting a renewed influence from Chinese painting but later developed a brightly colored and firmly outlined artistic style for large panels which reflected distinctively Japanese aesthetics and traditions. Clearly a special and quite unique work. We have not come across another Byobu screen like it. This engaging screen is sure to stand out in almost any collection and/or setting whether used as a room divider or hung carefully on the wall as a work of art. A beautiful and rare work. Likely from the Edo period (1603-1868) but perhaps older. Approximate dimensions when fully extended: 67" high, 138" wide, .75" deep. Approximate folded dimensions: 67" high, 23.5" wide, 4" deep.
