About the Item

Japanese contemporary two panel "byobu" or folding screen featuring genryoku style handcrafted raised silk kimono in black, orange and gold on textured cream background. Tagasode is the way a genryoku kosode kimono is hung over a kimono rack. The fence pattern with Paulownia in crimson, indigo and deep dark red, has been worked mostly in threads of various colors. The images of paulownia, bamboo and phoenixin the design represent a statement found in an ancient Chinese book: "This is the nature of phoenix: it will not rest, except in a Wu-tung tree (which is considered to be auspicious), and it will not eat anything but precious treasure." In Japan it has the status of the most venerable design. The auspicious phoenix has not been given a place on this padded silk garment, but its presence is hinted at by the paulownia and bamboo. The design is large, but the varied colors are brilliant on the cream color background and give an impression of buoyancy. The kosode is considered the origin of modern kimono. The Genryoku style of kosode that became popular at the end of Meiji era is also referred to as Genroku kosode. Designs with an impressive robustness were appreciated in this kosode and tie-dying and embroidery were techniques often used. According to the designer of this series, tagasode originated from the desire of ladies of the court to preserve their exquisite kimonos, and thus kimono designs showcasing the Four Seasons in Japan, its history and its customs have been passed down all the way to the present generation. 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.
