The gold leaf art deepens in color over time, shining brilliantly when light hits it, which adds warmth and luxury to any environment.

Condition details:

The screen remains in very good condition with minor paint loss typical of its age and some small decorative studs missing; these do not affect its structural integrity or visual appeal. The wooden frame and backing paper were restored during the early Showa period to preserve durability. A small tear on the back does not impact display quality. This piece is ready to be showcased immediately as a centerpiece or functional divider.


This traditional Japanese folding partition reflects centuries of craftsmanship rooted in history dating back to the Han Dynasty in China and refined through Japan’s Muromachi period. It offers not only practical use for room separation but also an artistic statement that enriches any interior.
