About the Item
A spectacular six-panel Japanese screen dating to the 18th century. The screen depicts samurai warriors from the Tairo and Minamoto clans, who fought for control of Japan in the 12th century.
This is a scene from the Gempei War tales and shows warriors in boats and on horseback, about to clash at the Uji River. The detail is wonderful, with gold clouds, and the colors are vibrant. The samurai are in full armor, with helmets. The painting is surrounded by traditional fabric brocade borders and a black lacquer frame accented by metal mounts.
There is traditional printed backing paper on the reverse.
This screen was purchased in 1981 in Kyoto, at S. Yanagi.
