Japanese Two Panel Screen: Sudare on Gold Leaf

Offered by: Naga Antiques

Description
This elegant Japanese two-panel screen masterfully combines traditional materials with striking minimalist composition. The screen features a dazzling and luminous background of gold leaf and mineral pigments on mulberry paper, catching the light beautifully. Sudare—a traditional bamboo blind—rendered with incredible precision. The use of the sudare motif suggests themes of interiority, elegance, and the delicate relationship between private and public space. It hints at a hidden scene or a sense of quiet waiting behind the shimmering gold. Framed by a silk brocade border and a black lacquer trim, the screen exemplifies the refined craftsmanship of traditional Japanese art, where complex meaning is often conveyed through subtle, restrained imagery. Mineral pigments and gold leaf on mulberry paper with silk brocade border and black lacquer trim.
