About the Item
Original Japanese woodblock print by Katsukawa Shunsen (Shunko II) (1762- circa 1830): five karako (Chinese boys) in traditional garments at play in a snow covered garden, making an enormous snowball that is even larger then themselves. One of the boys is giggling in the corner being amazed of their own creation. Looking at the grey sky, snow is still falling, but they are protected by the branches of a large slanting pine tree. A long red fence surrounds the garden.

Katsukawa Shunsen, who is also known as Shunko II, was a designer of books and ukiyo-e style Japanese woodblock prints. He was born in 1762 and designed prints from about 1805 to about 1821. He initially studied with the Rimpa school artist Tsutsumi Torin III. In 1806 or 1807, Shunsen became a student of Katsukawa Shun'ei, and changed his name from “Kojimachi Shunsen” to “Katsukawa Shunsen”. In 1820 he succeeded Katsukawa Shunko I, becoming Katsukawa Shunko II. In the late 1820s, he ceased producing woodblock prints and devoted himself to painting ceramics. He died about 1830. Shunsen is best known for his genre scenes, landscapes, and prints of beautiful women. (From Wikipedia)

Large Japanese 2-Panel Byôbu 屏風 'Room Divider' with Painting of Bamboo & a Poem
Located in Amsterdam, NL
Beautiful, large two-panel byôbu (room divider) with a serene painting of red-leaved bamboo and rocks on an oxidized silver leaf background. Silver leaf continuously undergoes the process of oxidation, which creates a beautiful aged patina.

Translated as :
Why would people plant a lot of bamboos?
The shade of a single culm is also beautiful.
In the autumn night it rocks on the wind,
And the fresh sound echoes in my dream.
Dated: Shôwa, the year kôshin (1938). Signature unknown...
