Wide two-panel byôbu leafy plants

A remarkable and exceptionally tall and wide two-panel byôbu 屏風 (room divider) with a refined painting of a bed of plants. Many green leafy plants fill this field, some very tall, others with slender spiky leaves, or with protruding broad leaves. In between striking red star lily’s カノコユリ (kanokoyuri) and lovely white asters 野菊 (nogiku).

The bed is next to a hilly road covered by smooth river rocks in different shades of grey.

This colourful painting is set on a silk background. The panels are protected by a wooden frame.
