Very large four-leaf folding screen with black lacquered wooden frame, featuring the Honda clan coat-of-arms (Kamon) at the bottom. The panels are adorned with a very delicate wild silk fabric embroidered with a floral design featuring bouquets of Chrysanthemums, the flower symbolizing autumn in Japan. Considered a Buddhist flower and offered in religious ceremonies, it is also the emblem of the imperial family. The leaves are held together by black fabric cords.
Condition report : In fine condition, with some wear to the fabric and embroidery, and traces of moisture at the top of one of the leaves.
