A good small scale Japanese antique hand painted six-panel folding screen byobu conceived in an attractive and unique “birds, blossoms, and blue river” motif and convenient size.

Included are a pair of song birds circling a colorful pint flowered plum or cherry tree and a blue river to right all nicely rendered on a tan ground.

It is signed.

Beautifully hand painted mineral pigments on silk. Fine condition.

Smaller size makes this lovely one conveniently installable with multiple possibilities.

Accompanied with original black lacquer frame with original brocade border and original backing paper – just the way we like to find them.

Dimensions:18 inches high and 51 inches length.

These smaller scale screens are ideal for small wall areas in tea rooms or alcoves tokonoma (toko-no-ma), or simply toko, which is a built-in recessed space in a Japanese style reception room, in which items for artistic appreciation are displayed.

Age: Edo period.
