About the Item

A Korean four-panel folding screen circa 1830s, from the late Joseon Dynasty. The painting depicts a vivid hunting scene on four vertical scroll panels mounted with brocade borders. The four panels are related to each other in narrative but not in an absolutely continuous fashion, therefore they could be viewed individually and independently, which was not uncommon in the screen paintings as they are meant to be folded and unfolded as needed. The pictures show a general on the far left panel seated on a low platform bed under a large umbrella, overseeing the hunting unfurling in front of him. There are jars and other official trappings around him as well as servants, including one that is making a fire for cooking. Armed militants, paired and on horseback, are chasing and hunting deer, antelopes, wild boars, and tigers. On the far right panel, a cart of hunting trophies were pushed toward the general for presentation. The militants are dressed in Mongol-style outfit, which is commonly found in Korean paintings with hunting scene. Mongols extended their power to the Korean peninsula in the 13th and 14th century and their martial skills and horsemanship had remained fascinating for Koreans when the unpleasant memory of the war receded. Folding floor screen was used in Korea, like in Japan for very practical reason. As floor-sitting people, screens were used to create flexible space and were quite portable. It is possible originally there were more associated panels as remounting the screen due to damages or partial losses was a common practice. This current screen formerly belonged to the collection of Nieman Marcus and it was imported in 1964 from Japan. A certificate from Japan Antique and Art Export Association dated it to 1830s. It can be displayed on the wall like a painting or as a folding screen on the floor. It measures 42.75" h x 49.75" w fully unfolded. To compare with a similar screen with hunting scene, see item FE. 22-1991 in the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum.

Rare Five Japanese Signed Oshi-E Textile Art Panels Meiji Period

Located in Atlanta, GA

On offer is a set of five Japanese textile art panels called Oshi-E circa Meiji Period (1868-1912). This unusual set of panels depict various aspects of daily life in Edo time with beautiful details. Some of these panels are snapshots of the buzzling commercial activities at the marketplace, providing insight into the signages, architecture, costumes and how people interacted within a historical and pictorial context. Other panels depict daily leisure activities such as lounging in the park or visiting friends. The realistic rendering and attention to details are not short of "photographic" quality. From the signage of the shops to the motions and attires of the individual characters, from the hairstyle, small ornaments, down to the facial expression, were all recorded in great details. Each panel was signed with the artist's name Yukihana in Kanji with a red seal. These panels are unframed and await your custom touch (framing with inner gilt spacer and mat costs about 250-500 depending on the material chosen, see a framed example in the last picture of a single framed panel we have for sale). We offer them for sale individually, but it will be great for a collector to consider the whole set so that they can stay together. The Oshi-E (also known as kiritori zaiku) is a type of ornamental textile art dated back to the Muromachi period (1392-1573). It started among the elite aristocratic women in Kyoto before spreading wider in the Japanese society. Throughout Edo and Meiji period, Oshi-E were sometimes used to make offerings to the altars in the temple and in the late 19th century, it was exported to the west along with the other embroidery textile art. Oshi-E was made by using silk wadding to create a relief design. Various silk fabric swaps and sometimes wires and tassels, often recycled from older kimonos...

Korean Folding Chaekgeori Painted Scholar Floor Screen

Located in Atlanta, GA

A six-panel painted folding floor screen from Korea circa early 20th century. This type of screen is called Chaekgeori (books and things) which is quite unique to Korea. It became popular at the end of 18th century favored and encouraged by King Jeongjo (1752-1800) as a political tool to promote social conservatism such as the traditional Confucianism value, especially considered important in a time when waves of new ideology influx came to Korea. Initially commissioned for the royal court, they became increasingly popular with the scholars of noble and affluent households and were used widely in their halls and studies. Early screens were painted with trompe-l’oeil bookcases displaying books and arrays of collectibles. Later, the bookcases were eliminated to focus on the assemblage of neatly stacked books and objects of scholarly pursue. On this screen, the six panels were neatly presented and framed in woven brocade borders. Among the stacked volumes, one can find many fine porcelain vases with flowers, potted orchids, pen holders with brush pens and scroll paintings, incense burner, ink stone, teapot, fan with ink painting, vessels of fruits, exotic plants such as lotus, plumeria and even a pair of glasses. It feels like a pleasant visual measure hunting for the viewers. Several words in Chinese found their way into the picture as well, including filial (xiao), longevity (shou) and luck (fu). The painting was done in a meticulous way with no details overlooked and also with a rather western still-life dimensional perspective. In a rather unusual maximal but also minimalistic way, the screen exudes a historical charm with a folky flair but appears modern at the same time. Each panel is 17.5"w by 70.2"h.
