Pair of Japanese Mid-Size 6-Panel Byôbu with a Bridge Crossing the Uji River 宇治川
Located in Amsterdam, NL
A pair of exceptional high quality medium-size six-panel byôbu (room divider) with an outstanding continuous painting on gold leaf of a bridge crossing the Uji river in southeast Kyôto with a waterwheel turning next to it and surrounded by willows (yanagi). Under a moonlit sky, a golden bridge sweeps upward in a strong diagonal from the right screen to the left above the deep blue river with silver swirls. The three willows at the right, middle, and left have small, delicate leaves, which is a sign of spring. The impressive tree trunks are executed in a thick shiny layer of lacquer accentuated by sprinkled mother-of-pearl (raden) in the curves, creating more depth. The embankments are protected by four stone-filled baskets (three on the left screen and one on the right). In between the ones on the left, a waterwheel is turning in the stream. The waves created by this movement are extra emphasised by being heightened in gofun, which is the refined powder of the itabo oyster (Ostrea denselamellosa). The bridge itself is executed in glistening gold-leaf and flanked by gold-specked white railings in low relief. The scene is shone upon by the glowing silver moon high in the sky and surrounded by gold-speckled clouds. Paintings that combine willows with a bridge and waterwheel over the Uji river, are a view long celebrated in literary works such as The Tale of Genji, or associated with Buddhist beliefs in salvation. Paintings of the Uji Bridge...

Korean Folding Chaekgeori Painted Scholar Floor Screen
Located in Atlanta, GA
A six-panel painted folding floor screen from Korea circa early 20th century. This type of screen is called Chaekgeori (books and things) which is quite unique to Korea. It became popular at the end of 18th century favored and encouraged by King Jeongjo (1752-1800) as a political tool to promote social conservatism such as the traditional Confucianism value, especially considered important in a time when waves of new ideology influx came to Korea. Initially commissioned for the royal court, they became increasingly popular with the scholars of noble and affluent household and used it widely in their halls and studies. Early screens were painted with trompe-l’oeil bookcases displaying books and arrays of collectibles. Later, the bookcases were eliminated to focus on the assemblage of neatly stacked books and objects of scholarly pursue. On this screen, the six panels were neatly presented and framed in woven brocade borders. Among the stacked volumes, one can find many fine porcelain vases with flowers, potted orchids, pen holders with brush pens and scroll paintings, incense burner, ink stone, teapot, fan with ink painting, vessels of fruits, exotic plants such as lotus, plumeria and even a pair of glasses. It feels like a pleasant visual measure hunting for the viewers. Several words in Chinese found their way into the picture as well, including filial (xiao), longevity (shou) and luck (fu). The painting was done in a meticulous way with no details overlooked and also with a rather western still-life dimensional perspective. In a rather unusual maximal but also minimalistic way, the screen exudes a folky charm but appears modern at the same time. Each panel is 17.5"w by 70.2"h. For general information on the subject see reference: Chaekgeori the Power and Pleasure of Possessions in Korean Painted Screens...
