An attractive medium-size six-panel byôbu 屏風 (folding screen) featuring a refined painting depicting scenes from The Tale of Genji 源氏物語 (Genji Monogatari).

The artwork showcases different aristocrats engaging in leisurely pastimes around a grand pavilion. A noble boy, clad in a vibrant kimono, wades through water surrounded by blooming blue irises. Nearby, a man and woman sit on a raised platform over the water under a canopy, while others relax on an open veranda. In the background, attendants wait by a gosho’guruma 御所車 (an ox-drawn carriage favoured by Heian nobility), positioned under the branches of a cherry blossom tree 桜 (sakura).
Shiny gold-leaf clouds with a swirling relief design envelop the scenes.

This multi-coloured painting is set on a paper background with gold leaf highlights. Surrounded by two silk borders, a thin Bordeaux red one, and a wide multi-coloured one with flower motif. Protected by a black lacquered frame with metal hardware.

Period: Japan – 19th century (Late Edo period/Early Meiji period).

Dimensions:
Total width: 276.4 cm (2 x 47.4 cm, 4 x 45.4 cm); Height: 106.5 cm.

In a very good condition with restorations in front and on the reverse, and some to be excepted traces of age. For a clear condition reference please look at the photos as well.

The folding screen is ideal for mounting flat on a wall and presenting as a single work of art.

When shipped we will add a certificate of authenticity.
