Folding screen with autumn flowers and birds in flight
Six-panel Byōbu (屏風) with a slope, seasonal blooms, and flying birds on a gold background
The panel features a delicate and sparse composition, built upon a gentle, light-colored slope that horizontally crosses the surface and hosts various floral groups. Chrysanthemums, peonies, slender grasses, and shrubs with autumnal tones are distributed along the ground, while two small birds enliven the upper register of the gold background. The visual arrangement prioritizes the balance between ample empty spaces and more concentrated plant clusters, resulting in an elegant and silent rendition. The succession of blossoms suggests a seasonal and poetic interpretation of the landscape, more evocative than naturalistic.
