The Japanese Antique Byobu Screen is a stunning 1920s Japanese screen that serves as both a folding room divider and an elegant home accent. Crafted during the Taisho era, this antique room partition features a gold leaf painting with a beautiful blue silver motif and three-dimensional flowers, specifically chrysanthemum wall decor. Its traditional Japanese art style adds timeless sophistication and cultural depth to any living space.


Measuring approximately 67.5 inches high, 150 inches wide, and 0.6 inches deep (about 170.5 cm × 381 cm × 1.5 cm), this Japanese folding screen weighs 33 lbs (14.9 kg). The wooden frame supports layers of paper, silk, metal, lacquer, and genuine gold and silver leaf, creating an ornate floral screen that captures light to reveal its rich textures and colors. The chrysanthemums are painted with relief-like detail, offering a three-dimensional effect that is striking even up close.


This folding screen’s flowing blue and silver base evokes classic Japanese aesthetics while the bold brushstrokes on leaves and stems provide dynamic movement when viewed from afar. Despite minor signs of age such as a small tear on the back and some missing decorative studs, the front remains in excellent condition with no tears or significant paint loss. The wood and backing paper were restored during the early Showa period, ensuring durability and immediate display readiness.

- Authentic gold leaf painting from the Taisho era for genuine historical value
- Chrysanthemum motif with three-dimensional flowers for visual depth
- Large size ideal for room partition or statement wall decor
