A fine early small scale Japanese antique hand-painted six-panel folding screen byobu conceived in a convenient size.
With the original signed wooden collector and storage box tomobako.

Lovely vivid colors feature classic colorful spring and summer subject matter: rich gold mist back ground with a plethora of nature: Sparrows and a perched bird, Iris, cherry blossoms, mountains, flowers and trees galore and oh yes, those lovely blue waters.

Beautifully hand painted mineral pigments on paper.

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

Accompanied with original black lacquer frame with original gold brocade border and original backing paper – just the way we like to find them. Plus the bonus original signed wooden colletor wooden box.

Dimension: 22.25 inches high and 50 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: Meiji period, 1868-1912.

Photographed in natural light.
