About the Item

This is a finely stitched Kyoto embroidery screen that dates to the Meiji Era (1868 - 1912). Kyoto has been celebrated for its skilled artistic embroidery since the early 8th century. In the Meiji Era Kyoto embroideries became increasingly desirable due the the Japonisme craze of the second half of the century. Kyoto embroideries were acquired by the major households, palaces and museums. This example has survived in very good condition for over 100 years. Silk is a fragile material and it is apparent that this screen was treated with respect. Due to the design of screen, with all unnecessary elements eliminated, the screen could be placed in a traditional or period designed room as well as in a modern setting. ****Please contact us for competitive shipping quotes to the East Coast.
