About the Item

A six-fold paper screen painted in ink and colour on a gold ground with grape vines hanging from a pergola and woven fence amongst golden clouds, the details in gin-sunago (cut silver leaf) and moriage (raised design). The metal mounts are decorated with cloisonné enamel, a special detail rarely seen on screen mounts. Japan, 17th/18th century, Edo period. Grapes represent the autumn season and have been regarded as an auspicious symbol of fertility and prosperity since ancient times. Also the Japanese word of grape ‘budō’ is the same word for martial arts. Often paired with squirrels (‘risu’ in Japanese meaning, to follow discipline), the subject was a favourite of the samurai class. Designs incorporating grape vines have been used for ceramic and lacquer works as well as paintings from early times and screens depicting this subject matter seem to have been particularly popular in the early Edo period, however only a few examples are known today. These known examples depicting grape vines are rendered in a similar manner using gold leaf and moriage (raised design): A pair of screens from the Kano School housed in the Tokyo Fuji Art Museum (17th century, Momoyama period) A pair in the Gardner collection (17th century, accession no. P14e3) There are another comparable pair of 17th-century screens housed in the Okura Museum of Art, Tokyo and there are a pair of sugido (cedar wood doors) with the same subject housed in the Nagoya Castle, Aichi prefecture. Paravent à six volets peint à l'encre et à la couleur sur fond doré, représentant des vignes suspendues à une pergola et une clôture tressée parmi des nuages dorés, avec des détails en gin-sunago (feuille d'argent découpée) et moriage (motifs en relief). Les montures métalliques sont décorées d'émail cloisonné, un détail particulier rarement vu sur les montures de paravents. Japon, XVIIe/XVIIIe siècle, période Edo. Les raisins représentent la saison automnale et sont considérés depuis l'Antiquité comme un symbole propice de fertilité et de prospérité. De plus, le mot japonais « budō », qui désigne le raisin, est le même que celui qui désigne les arts martiaux. Souvent associé aux écureuils (« risu » en japonais, qui signifie « suivre la discipline »), ce sujet était très apprécié de la classe des samouraïs. Les motifs incorporant des vignes ont été utilisés dès les temps anciens pour les céramiques, les laques et les peintures. Les paravents représentant ce sujet semblent avoir été particulièrement populaires au début de la période Edo, mais seuls quelques exemples sont connus aujourd'hui. Ces exemples connus représentant des vignes sont rendus de manière similaire à l'aide de feuilles d'or et de moriage (motif en relief) : Une paire de paravents de l'école Kano est conservée au Tokyo Fuji Art Museum (XVIIe siècle, période Momoyama). Une paire dans la collection Gardner (XVIIe siècle, n° d'inventaire P14e3). Il existe une autre paire d'écrans comparables du XVIIe siècle conservée au musée d'art Okura de Tokyo, ainsi qu'une paire de sugido (portes en bois de cèdre) sur le même thème conservée au château de Nagoya, dans la préfecture d'Aichi.

Located in Kyoto, JP

Signed Unkoku Toyu (1660-1716) Flowers & Birds of Winter and Early Spring A Six-panel Japanese Screen. Ink, color and gold leaf on paper. This later 17th century Japanese screen is signed Unkoku Tōyū (1660–1716), a leading figure of the Unkoku school in the early Edo period. Tōyū was the eldest son of Unkoku Tōji, and he carried forward a lineage that deliberately anchored itself in the authority of Sesshū Tōyō. The mood of the scene is observational and seasonal, not emblematic of power as were many screens from the more wide-spread Kano school. The composition is unified by wind and atmosphere. Everything — bamboo, plum, reeds, water, birds — participates in a single directional force moving from left to right. Unlike certain later screens that flatten elements across the surface, this composition preserves a sense of depth. Yet the recession is moderated by gold clouds and frontal placement of forms. The result is a balanced tension between depth and surface. The compositional structure — with its expansive sweep across the panels — reflects the decorative ambition of Momoyama screen...
