About the Item

Incredible Japanese sliding doors fusuma (襖) painted on silk, framed with black lacquered borders. The composition depicts a wide natural landscape with mountains veiled in mist, pine trees, flowing water, and a waterfall. Green and ochre tones create a strong sense of atmospheric depth, in keeping with the Japanese landscape painting tradition. The panels retain their original circular hikite (引手) pulls. The painting unfolds as a continuous scene, conceived to divide interior spaces while visually expanding them. On the lower right panel appears the artist's signature. The outer frames in black lacquer complete the ensemble. The reverse features a simpler decoration, with softly shaded areas in gold and silver powder representing stylized clouds. The doors can also be easily mounted on a wall.
