Antique Red and White Peonies Painting Ⅱ

$2,398.62(tax included)

In radiant full bloom:
The dazzling life force of red and white peonies.

Passed down through a historic, centuries-old purveyor of fine teaware and traditional furnishings, this screen painting is beautifully resurrected for the modern world. Believed to have been brushed between the mid and late Edo period, the red and white peonies are not only breathtakingly vivid and fragrant, but also exude a raw, somewhat wild vitality. Richly auspicious and undeniably grand, this magnificent piece lends an air of opulent celebration to any space.

Captivated by the layered textures:
The complex, shifting brilliance of gold and silver.

By seamlessly preserving the original gold leaf surrounding the peonies while incorporating panels of even older antique gold foil, this mounting solution highlights the multi-faceted brilliance and nuanced texture unique to pure gold. Furthermore, by framing the composition with a beautifully weathered, uneven silver leaf, an exquisite historical depth—a layer of time itself—is born between the blossoms and the background. Viewers will find themselves utterly captivated by this romantic Jidai Byobu that whispers of a journey through the centuries.

The Art of Traditional Mounting

Every "Jidai Byobu" (historical folding screen) we create is meticulously handcrafted using traditional Japanese hyogu mounting techniques.
In our process, we intentionally apply adhesive only to the outer edges of the reverse side. This time-honored method—the same used for the sliding doors (fusuma) of Japanese temples and the original screens of antiquity—is a testament to the wisdom of our ancestors. It preserves the soft, natural texture of the paper while allowing it to "breathe" and shift in response to seasonal changes in humidity, preventing the delicate material from cracking or tearing.
Should you notice subtle tension lines or ripples appearing near the corners due to environmental changes, please be assured that this is a sign of the paper naturally protecting itself. We hope you will embrace these nuances as a unique "scenery" ("keshiki")—a hallmark of an authentic, living piece of art.
One of the remarkable benefits of traditional mounting is that the piece can be restored even after significant changes over the years. Our craftsmen are honored to breathe new life into your screen should it ever require adjustment. In such cases, please contact us via our inquiry form (kindly note that round-trip shipping costs are the responsibility of the owner).
We are dedicated to working alongside you to preserve this "piece of history" for generations to come.
