Description
A folding screen is called Byoubu in Japanese. Its name comes from shutting wind. It was necessary furniture for life as space partitioning since the Nara era (710~794). Nowadays, it is developing a new folding screen to fit modern life. You can decorate it by standing it up and hanging it on a wall using a hanger.
The iris blooming at the waterside has been enjoyed from ancient times in Japan.
The iris part used TAKASAGO foils, a type of foils made from silver as the base, with gold color reproduced using complementary colors.
Kira-Washi paper
The background of the iris is created by painting strokes of light ink in both vertical and horizontal directions on washi paper to form ripples. Over this, a pigment containing minerals is applied, giving a beautiful pearlescent sheen that reflects light and sparkles. This process is also a delicate art that requires considerable time and careful workmanship. This effect has long been called "Kira" or "Kirara". It is also used in techniques like "Kira-zuri" in ukiyo-e prints.
