"Silver Leaf Byobu Meiji Period "
A byobu screen covered in silver leaf, with a red lacquered wooden frame and brocade border. The simplicity and elegance of this byobu testify to the refined aesthetic favored by the upper classes of society during the Meiji era. Art was a symbol of personal status and a deeply appreciated aspect of daily life. The silver leaf has oxidized, forming an abstract painting that makes the piece timeless. This is the first time I've owned an abstract byobu, and its timeless elegance is very pleasant to live with. some cracks and scratches but overall in good condition
