Rinpa Style Byobu Screen - Early 20th Century
This elegant four-panel Japanese byōbu screen is painted in the Rinpa style, known for its bold, decorative use of gold leaf and nature-inspired themes. Dating from the early 20th century, the composition features clusters of autumn grasses and seasonal flowers; including chrysanthemums, bellflowers, and bush clovers set against a background of luminous gold leaf.
The screen is delicately hand-painted using traditional mineral pigments on paper, mounted within a silk brocade border and wooden frame. Its low horizontal format and refined palette suggest it was designed either for mounting above a tokonoma (alcove) as a wall-mounted panel rather than as a freestanding room divider.
