About the Item

A gorgeous six-panel Japanese Byobu folding screen depicting a nature lake/landscape scene with a water walkway/angular bridge and blossoming iris flowers - perhaps an homage to the famed Irises screens by the famed Japanese artist Ogata Korin (Irises at Yatsuhashi (Eight Bridges) of the Rinpa school. The beautiful colors, gold leaf, and beautiful hand-painted detail of the blooming flowers make this an attractive and special work. Original decorative period brass hardware adds another wonderful touch. Late Edo (1603-1868) / Early Meiji period (1868-1912) period. Provenance: Property of Private Pacific Northwest Collection.

Edo Landscape Japanese Folding Screen
By Japanese Studio
Located in Brescia, IT
Refined work by a painter from the first half of the 19th century, from the landscape of the "Rinpa" school by a painter from the end of the 18th century, the Rinpa school. Six panels painted in ink on gold leaf and "gofun" on vegetable paper. The flowers are made with the "gofun" technique, natural or pigmented white oyster powder. Rinpa is one of the major historical schools of Japanese painting. The style was consolidated by the brothers Ogata Korin (1658–1716) and Ogata Kenzan (1663–1743). This folding screen has a very clean design that leaves plenty of room for the beautiful golden landscape. It comes flat and you can easily hang it with our hooks. Lucio Morini...
