Japanese Style Four Panel Screen Geese Flight Over Reeds

About the Item

Tall Japanese style four panel byobu screen that is probably Korean. The screen was constructed in the Showa period and depicts a flock of geese flying over flowering reeds. Ink and natural color pigments over a gold toned ground. The painting is set in a black lacquered wood frame with a silk brocade border. The panel hinges have slight separation, but not completely broken and difficult to see when open. The Korean pronunciation of the characters "reed" and "old man" are the same (no), as are the words for "geese" and "comfort" (ahn). Thus Korean paintings of reeds and geese represent a wish for a peaceful life in later years. From an estate in San Francisco, CA.
