Executed in a traditional Shōwa Era workshop style, this piece offers massive visual scale and a timeless Asian Traditional aesthetic.
Unlike antique screens made with genuine precious metals, this high-quality mid-century decorative piece features hand-painted ink and gouache details over a printed gold-toned paper backing, beautifully replicating the classic gridded look of traditional Japanese gold leaf panels.
The artwork is framed with a subtle silk-brocade border, housed in a matte black wood frame, and protected by its original patinated metal decorative corner guards. The artwork features an original hand-brushed signature and an official red studio hanko stamp in the lower right corner.
(Note: Similar mid-century screen series are occasionally cataloged by dealers under the workshop trade name "Yukiga").
