About the Item

A gorgeous four-panel Japanese Byobu folding screen depicting a scene from the Classic Japanese narrative "Tale of Genji" featuring various characters in a cherry blossom tree village setting. The dark, rich colors, gold leaf and beautiful hand painted detail of the figures and blooming cherry blossom flowers really make this an attractive work. Original decorative period brass hardware adds another wonderful touch.
