A Japanese byōbu (屏風) six-panel paper screen depicting a pair of Manchurian cranes and pine trees on a gold leaf background. The composition shows two Manchurian cranes in a landscape with elaborately rendered matsu pines with green foliage, beside a stylized stream. Artist’s signature and seal in the lower right corner. The panels are framed by two elegant silk borders, while a lacquered wooden frame completes and protects the screen. The screen can also be easily mounted on a wall or used as a room divider. The Manchurian crane is one of the most beloved symbols in Japanese tradition, associated with longevity, marital fidelity, and prosperity, while the pine tree represents strength and endurance. Byōbu (屏風), literally “wind protection screens,” are traditional Japanese folding screens originally created to divide spaces and today appreciated above all as striking wall-mounted paintings. --- The byobu is in good condition, with minor wear consistent with age. There are a few restored gold leaf areas especially between the 3rd and 4th and the 5th and 6th panels. The paper on the back shows some imperfections consistent with the period. Please refer to the pictures for further details. The item will be carefully packed and shipped via DHL or FedEx, accompanied by the original certificate of authenticity issued by Mastromauro Japanese art gallery based in Milan, Italy. 369
