History:
Due to the war years 1933-1945 much of Japans artistic records were lost though the epic Taisho era and unique works of art like this screen was handmade possibly for an important commission. This work of art represents an important bridge from Taisho to Showa period art forms combining the best of Showa’s sedate attitude with the lofty, airy, and realistic ideals of Taisho.
A rare find.
Hand sewn -Shushu- screens like this one are few and far between. The butterflies subject matter is rarer still.
