Jidai Byobu

Antique Red and White Peonies Painting Ⅲ

$3,187.71(tax included)

Peonies flourishing by the waterside:
Savoring the refined elegance of a classical garden.

Depicting red and white peonies in lavish, tumbling bloom beside a serene pond, this grand garden screen painting dates back to the mid to late Edo period. The composition offers a profoundly satisfying contrast, where "dynamic" elements—such as crisp, splashing water rendered in gofun and the brilliant shimmer of scattered sunago—are perfectly anchored and balanced by the "tranquil" presence of bamboo grass and lush foliage.

*Gofun: A traditional Japanese white pigment made from pulverized crushed seashell.
*Sunago: A decorative technique using finely crushed and scattered gold or silver leaf.

A harmonious resonance of red, white, gold, and silver:
Cultivating an atmosphere of auspicious luxury.

Luminous gold leaf enhances the voluptuous allure of the red and white peonies—a universal symbol of wealth, nobility, and fortune. Complemented by late-Edo period silver leaf, featuring a crumpled (momi) texture and a deep, muted patina, this modern mounting achieves a sublime harmony of red, white, gold, and silver. Whether revered as a perpetual floral arrangement in a traditional teahouse or mounted against raw concrete and textured wallpaper in a modern interior, this Jidai Byobu invites a gentle, auspicious breeze into any architectural space.

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.
