6-panel Japanese Folding Screen - Scene From Daily Life
High-ranking dignitaries are attending a theatrical performance, likely kyogen—a comic theater form featuring an actor accompanied by musicians. These performances are generally held in private. A large banner frames the figures beautifully. It is significant to note that the banner features a mon (family crest) depicting a 16-petaled kiku (chrysanthemum), which may only be used by families closely related to the emperor. Magnificently lacquered and decorated palanquins are parked outside.
These scenes of daily life and leisure in Japan are common and often in harmony with nature and the seasons.
Edo period (1603–1868), early 19th century.
