Japanese Silk Brocade Traditional Two-Panel Folding Screen

About the Item

Extraordinary Japanese contemporary two-panel "byobu" or folding screen featuring a lady from the Heian period court, showcased in "The Tale of Genji" by Murasaki Shikibu, widely introduced as the world's first novel. The lady in long hair is dressed in "Twelve Layered Robe'" or "junihitoe," layers of exquisite unlined kimonos in striking colors and pattern worn on top of each other, showing only the borders. It is quite heavy at times making walking very difficult. "twelve layered robe" is now only worn by the imperial family at enthronements and imperial weddings. This exceptional folding screen showcases a traditional Japanese decorative art form using high quality silk and brocade fabrics, known as oshie (literally, “pressed pictures”) that goes back to the Edo period (1603-1868). It is said this art form was born of the reluctance of ladies of the court to discard the magnificent silk kimonos and brocaded obi they had donned for a lifetime. The solution was to recycle these opulent fabrics into stunning works of art. Oshie resembles a carefully crafted very intricate jigsaw puzzle comprising numerous pieces of kimono fabric padded with slightly differing thicknesses of cotton and painstakingly glued and ironed together to create an undulating three-dimensional picture. Highly detailed oshie pieces contain hundreds of small pieces that are expertly aligned to express subtle gradations in color, as well as light and shade. In the final process, facial features are painted in miniature-like exactitude. The end product is an awe-inspiring piece with a surprising three-dimensional effect. This byobu series conveys the beauty and sensibility that the history of Japan reflects and at the same time enhances contemporary living spaces. Dimensions: H 60 in, W 57 in, D 2 in.

Edo Landscape Japanese Folding Screen

By Japanese Studio

Located in Brescia, IT

Refined work by a painter from the first half of the 19th century, from the landscape of the "Rinpa" school by a painter from the end of the 18th century, the Rinpa school. Six panels painted in ink on gold leaf and "gofun" on vegetable paper. The flowers are made with the "gofun" technique, natural or pigmented white oyster powder. Rinpa is one of the major historical schools of Japanese painting. The style was consolidated by the brothers Ogata Korin (1658–1716) and Ogata Kenzan (1663–1743). This folding screen has a very clean design that leaves plenty of room for the beautiful golden landscape. It comes flat and you can easily hang it with our hooks. Lucio Morini...
