Keichodo Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 Set of two screens! Very large! Each screen in six folding sections: height is 173 cm and length is 336 cm. Condition is excellent! Screen paintings were remounted. Motif is dragons and clouds. Screen 1 has one dragon and screen 2 has two dragons. These were formerly the property of the Sword Fittings Museum and were on display there....These would look spectacular framed in gold lacquer and mounted on a big wall in a board room or hotel! Great background for your armor collection. These huge screens come in a custom-made storage crate. Delivery not included but will arrange discount air cargo shipping..... Price yen 850,000 or a strong offer....... Best Regards, Robert Hughes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickupero Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Very Nice Robert, well animated dragons! What age would you date them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keichodo Posted May 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Hi Nick It has been suggested that the dragon paintings could be Meiji/Taisho and then remounted...I have not been able to find any information on the artist...so this is an ongoing process.....they could turn out to be early Showa productions but still very remarkable...

Valric Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Fantastic. I was going to buy it, but I figured it would be prudent to show it to the wife before I re-decorate our home with this giant byobu. It's not to her taste, alas! I've seen a lot of byobus in Japan, and we have a few. And I can say from my (limited) exposure hat this one is spectacular and fairly priced. Heck, I'm envious of its future owner!

Keichodo Posted May 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Thanks Chris....I appreciate the positive commentary....and you are wise to never let a byobu compromise marital relations! Best, Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ichi Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 Hi Robert, It looks nice for my golden tearoom, but it's too big. It won't fit here. Erol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keichodo Posted May 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 Erol... Pretty cool party space....I really think with some expansion the byobu will work out nicely for you! Best, Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
