Japanese Meiji Six-Panel Folding Screen with Courtly Landscape and Pavilion
About the Item
A Japanese Meiji period six-panel folding screen, late 19th century, showcasing an exquisitely painted yamato-e style composition. Featuring noble figures in an idyllic landscape, this byōbu (folding screen) highlights classic Japanese artistic techniques and refined craftsmanship. The scene unfolds with aristocratic figures adorned in flowing robes, surrounded by cascading waterfalls, sakura blossoms, and undulating rivers. These elements are set against a luminous background, which adds depth and dimension to the composition while reflecting light beautifully. The finely detailed architecture and delicate fans evoke an atmosphere of elegance, likely inspired by scenes from classical Japanese literature or aristocratic life.
The reverse side of the screen is adorned with a repeating geometric fabric motif, adding visual interest and versatility, whether used as a room divider or displayed as a statement piece. Supported by silk brocade borders and mounted on a lightweight wooden frame, the screen’s materials embody traditional Japanese artistry.
This byōbu can bring timeless sophistication to any living space, whether placed in a large foyer to create a dramatic entryway, used as a backdrop in a formal sitting room, or displayed in a study to inspire tranquility. This screen is not merely functional but also a testament to Japan’s rich history and artistic heritage, inviting viewers to reflect on its serene and captivating narrative.
