Original Description
The six-fold bamboo screen A Chinese Old Story by Tansetsu Morisada Kano is a mesmerizing example of Edo-period narrative painting, where delicate ink washes and gold detailing bring this ancient tale to life. Executed in the classic Kanō-school style—a union of Chinese ink techniques with Japanese decorative sensibilities—the screen’s vertical composition guides the viewer through scrolling mists and slender bamboo groves, while figures in flowing robes enact a storied scene, likely drawn from Chinese folklore or literary classics. The restrained palette of mineral greens, muted ochers, and luminous gold evokes a dreamlike serenity, characteristic of the Kanō atelier’s screens made for elite samurai and imperial patrons. Historically significant, this work bridges the monumental yamato-e tradition with the subtlety of kanga (Chinese-style painting), reflecting Japan’s cultural dialogue with continental Asia during the 17th–19th centuries.
For contemporary spaces, this screen’s poetic gravitas lends itself to minimalist interiors seeking organic warmth or traditional settings craving layered storytelling. Ideal for a study or lounge, its vertical format amplifies ceiling height—place it behind a low sofa or as a room divider in open-plan areas. Harmonize with muted earth tones (taupe, slate) or let it anchor a monochrome scheme, where the gold accents echo brass or walnut furnishings. Avoid competing patterns; instead, pair with raw textures like linen or shou sugi ban wood. At 150–180cm tall (typical for byōbu), it commands attention without overwhelming—flank with ikigusa grass arrangements or a single ceramic vessel to honor its negative space. In offices, it fosters contemplation; in homes, it becomes a heirloom-worthy focal point.
