Stunning Japanese painted 4-panel byobu (folding screen) "White Peony". Signed and sealed by artist. The title is "White Peony." White peony flowers representing early summer are painted brilliantly. Peony flowers have a large and luxurious appearance with overlapping petals, which is worthy of being called the "King of Flowers." Especially in China, it has been called the "King of Hyakka" since ancient times. Words such as "high and high" and "rich" are also linked to the appearance of flowers.
