Antique Japanese screens —known as byōbu— are folding panels designed to divide space, shield from draughts and frame a scene within the traditional Japanese home. This selection brings together pieces from the 19th and 20th centuries, spanning the Meiji, Taishō and Shōwa periods.
Each screen pairs a light wooden structure with washi paper panels, often decorated with ink painting (sumi-e), gold leaf or floral and landscape motifs. Paper hinges let the panels fold in a zigzag and stand unsupported, with no visible hardware —a construction method particular to Japanese furniture.
In a contemporary interior, a screen adds atmosphere and separates areas without raising walls, settling naturally into wabi-sabi, japandi or minimalist spaces. Each piece in this collection from Amaru Antiques, Barcelona is one of a kind.
