Folding screen with autumn flowers and birds in flight
Six-panel Byōbu (屏風)
Folding screen with a slope, seasonal blooms, and birds in flight against a gold background
The panel features a delicate and refined composition, built upon a soft, light-coloured slope that traverses the surface horizontally and cradles various floral groupings. Chrysanthemums, peonies, slender grasses, and shrubs with autumnal hues are distributed along the ground, while two small birds enliven the upper register of the gold background. The visual structure prioritizes the balance between expansive empty spaces and more concentrated plant clusters, with an elegant and serene rendering. The succession of blooms suggests a seasonal and poetic interpretation of the landscape, more evocative than naturalistic.
