Gold 6 Panel Screen – Kimono

Japan – Late 20th Century
L. 270 | W. 3 | H. 180 cm

During the second half of the 20th century, with the evolution of the Japanese art and craft market, many of these screens were created using mixed techniques, combining ink painting on paper or silk with gold or silver leaf details. Some examples depict suspended kimonos, almost as if displayed in an elegant boutique, while others portray women in traditional or abstract settings.
