Original Description
Gyokusho Kawabata’s exquisite pair of six-fold screens, Six-fold Screen With A Tsugumi Hovering Over A Bridge and Six-fold Screen With Shijyukara Flying Toward Thistle, epitomize the refined elegance of late 19th-century Japanese nihonga (traditional-style painting). The delicate interplay of avian subjects and natural scenery—featuring a tsugumi (brown-eared bulbul) poised mid-flight above a rustic bridge and shijyukara (tits) darting toward thistles—evokes a serene, poetic harmony characteristic of Kawabata’s lyrical approach. Executed with meticulous brushwork and soft mineral pigments on silk, the screens blend realism with decorative sophistication, reflecting the artist’s mastery of the Maruyama-Shijō school’s naturalistic tradition. Created during the Meiji era, when Japan was reopening to the West, these works embody a cultural reverence for nature while subtly engaging with modernist compositional techniques. Today, they are celebrated as exemplars of nihonga’s transitional phase, bridging classical aesthetics and emerging modernity.
For interior styling, these screens demand a curated space where their artistry can resonate. Ideal for a minimalist or Japandi-inspired room, the pair would anchor a tranquil study or a sunlit dining area, their muted golds, greens, and earth tones harmonizing with organic materials like oak furniture or woven textiles. Position them as a focal point against a neutral wall to amplify their luminosity, or flank a low console table to create a symmetrical vignette. Given their six-panel format (roughly 5–6 feet wide when fully extended), they suit spacious settings but can also be partially folded for narrower areas. Complement with subtle lighting—paper lanterns or a shoji lamp—to echo their traditional roots, while avoiding competing patterns to let the delicate avian motifs shine. In an office, they’d instill calm sophistication behind a executive desk, their timeless beauty elevating corporate austerity.
