Large Japanese 6-panel byôbu 屏風 (folding screen) with chrysanthemum garden
About the Item
A very colourful and captivating large six-panel byôbu (folding screen) with a refined continuous painting of a luscious flower garden filled with many different types of chrysanthemums (kiku), next to a winding river.
This multi-coloured painting is set on a shiny gold-leaf background, and the chrysanthemum flowers are painted by using shell paste (gofun) in low relief.
Several clutches with a great variety of chrysanthemum flowers are in full bloom and they each show their unique form and colour. Varying from white, red, yellow and pink. The flowers bloom all around and on different kinds of bamboo fences and trellises.
In Japan chrysanthemums are believed to represent happiness, love, longevity and joy.
The panels are surrounded by two silk borders, a thin black one, and a wide brown one. The screen is protected by a black and red negoro’nuri-style lacquer wooden frame. The back of the room divider is covered with beautiful silver paper with a flower and bird pattern in low relief.
The folding screen is ideal for mounting flat on a wall and presenting as a single work of art.
