EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing landscape screen dating back to the 11th-12th century, created by an anonymous artist. Housed in the esteemed National Museum Kyoto collection, this exquisite piece of fine art is a true testament to the beauty and mastery of Japanese painting. The image depicts a serene and harmonious scene, transporting viewers into a world of tranquility. The delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors bring life to every element within the composition. Gouache on silk has been skillfully employed to capture intricate details, from towering mountains adorned with lush foliage to gentle streams meandering through idyllic valleys. Folding screens like these, known as "byobu" in Japan, were traditionally used as room dividers or decorative pieces during important ceremonies or gatherings. This particular genre of artwork often depicted landscapes that symbolized peace and serenity. As we admire this remarkable paravent (another term for folding screen), it becomes evident why such works are highly regarded in Oriental arts. They not only showcase technical brilliance but also evoke emotions and transport us into another realm entirely. This print allows us to appreciate this ancient masterpiece without commercial intentions; instead, it invites us to delve deeper into its historical significance and marvel at the artistic prowess displayed by an unknown creator centuries ago.
