It originates from Japan, from the late Meiji period, when the screen articulated the space of the home and was kept in its own box.<\/p>\n<p>The by\u014dbu was used as a divider and as a backdrop in the Japanese home, folding away for storage. Keeping the original wooden box, used to carry and protect it, is a sign of its care over time.<\/p>\n<p>The six panels are paper mounted over wooden lattices, joined by paper hinges that let them fold in a zigzag, with a lacquered frame and a patterned-paper back. The painting runs continuously across the panels.<\/p>\n<p>The composition depicts waterbirds \u2014ducks and a heron\u2014 among chrysanthemums and bamboo, in ink and colour on aged paper, with the artist&#8217;s calligraphy and seal. The chrysanthemum (kiku) symbolises longevity, and the waterbirds evoke water and the turn of the seasons.<\/p>\n<p>For its horizontal development, it serves as a room divider, a headboard or a scenic backdrop in a large room. It fits wabi-sabi, japandi and eclectic interiors, where it brings depth and narrative.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Details<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Dimensions:<\/strong> Length 353 cm &#8211; Width 1 cm &#8211; Height 168 cm<\/li>\n<li><strong>Style:<\/strong> Traditional Japanese<\/li>\n<li><strong>Materials and techniques:<\/strong> Painted paper over wooden lattice; paper hinges; lacquered frame; wooden box.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Place of origin:<\/strong> Japan<\/li>\n<li><strong>Period:<\/strong> Meiji period<\/li>\n<li><strong>Date of manufacture:<\/strong> Circa 1900<\/li>\n<li><strong>Condition:<\/strong> Good.
