- Lot Description
East Asia, Japan, Late Edo period, ca. 19th century CE. A large mulberry paper screen or "byobu" with 4 hinged folding panels mounted on a bamboo and lacquered wood frame with brass fittings. The interior is a peaceful yet vibrant nature scene with flowing water surrounding an outcrop of land with a gnarled pine tree, plum and cherry blossoms, a pair of birds in the branches, and a male and female pheasant below. A border of blue silk frames the composition, the mulberry paper verso has a pale pink stylized flower stamp motif, and the glimmering gilt flecks on the tan ground are beautiful but also practical for brightening the room. Both artistic and utilitarian, the byobu was used as a temporary and portable privacy partition or light wind shelter - the word byobu comes from the characters "wind protection." Size (unfolded flat): 97" L x 0.65" W x 36.5" H (246.4 cm x 1.7 cm x 92.7 cm); (folded): 48" L x 2" W x 36.5" H (121.9 cm x 5.1 cm x 92.7 cm)
Provenance: private Evergreen, Colorado, USA collection; ex-private Denver, Colorado, USA, collection, acquired 1960 to 2000
