Lot 86 JAPANESE SIX-PANEL SCREEN – GOLD LEAF LANDSCAPE WITH COURTLY SCENES, EDO PERIOD (1615–1868)

This exquisite Japanese six-panel folding screen is a masterful example of traditional Yamato-e style painting. The screen features an opulent gold-leaf background that highlights vibrant vignettes of noble life, seasonal landscapes, and flowing rivers.
Each panel contains detailed court scenes, elegant figures in kimono, and architecture framed by nature, including rolling mountains, pines, bridges, and lakes. The use of “clouds” of gold mist provides spatial separation between events, a signature feature of Japanese screen design.
