Late Edo Nio Screen
About the Item
Late Edo Nio Screen
Period: Late Edo, 19th century
Size: 170 x 190 cm (67 x 75 inches)
SKU: PTA15
This powerful and extremely rare screen depicts the Nio, Buddhist temple guardians. The screen is split in the middle and the panels are separated from each other.
The Nio are two wrathful and muscular guardians of the Buddha. They stand today at the entrance of many Buddhist temples in the form of frightening wrestler-like statues. They are dharmapalas, manifestations of the Bodhisattva Vajrapani, the oldest and one of the most powerful of the Mahayana Buddhist pantheon. Within the tradition of Buddhism, stories of dharmapalas justified the use of physical force to protect cherished values and beliefs.
The Nio are often featured in Japanese art, and they are a popular subject for screens. This screen is a particularly fine example of the genre. The artist has captured the power and majesty of the Nio in great detail.
This screen is a rare and valuable artifact from the Late Edo period. It is a stunning example of Japanese art and craftsmanship.

Tigers
Pair of six-panel Japanese screens.
Ink and gold-leaf on paper.
In this monochromatic pair of six-fold Japanese screens painted on gold-leaf, Kishi Renzan has created a breathtaking composition of a family of tigers. The screens are filled with a sense of drama which is conveyed by both the subject matter and the wet, expressive brushwork. The running mountain stream and the towering waterfall allude to refreshment during the summer months and we feel the tiger families familiarity and security within their environment.

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.
