About the Item
Mid-Century Japanese Six-Panel Byōbu/Screen Depicting Kimonos and Obi Draped on an Ikō Rack
A beautifully composed Japanese six-panel byōbu screen depicting an elegant assemblage of folded kimonos and obi draped over a traditional ikō (衣桁) kimono display rack. Rendered against a warm gold ground in the classical Yamato-e manner, the screen celebrates the refined world of Japanese textile arts—particularly the seasonal and symbolic motifs embedded within kimono patterns.
Each garment features distinct wagara designs: stylized chrysanthemums, plum blossoms, fans, wave forms, and geometric patterns referencing Edo-period textile traditions. The artist arranges the garments as an overlapping cascade, creating a sense of depth and luxurious abundance associated with courtly culture and ceremonial dressing.
The gold backdrop enhances the sculptural silhouette of the robes, echoing the gilded surfaces of traditional Nihonga screens produced in Kyoto and Edo workshops. The effect is both decorative and meditative, making this an exceptional focal point for a contemporary or traditional interior.
The screen is constructed with lacquered wood frames and paper hinges in keeping with mid-century Japanese craftsmanship. The palette—rich golds, indigo, persimmon, and soft greens—reflects the restrained elegance of Showa-era aesthetics.
A striking and atmospheric textile-themed screen with strong graphic appeal, ideal for collectors of Japanese decorative arts or for adding sculptural presence to a room.
