Original Description
This breathtaking six-panel folding screen by Yusetsu Kaiho (active 17th century) dramatically captures the legendary naval Battle of Dan-no-ura (1185) between the Genji and Heike clans, a pivotal moment in Japanese history immortalized in The Tale of the Heiji. Kaiho, a master of the Kano school, employs a dynamic composition filled with swirling waves, arcing arrows, and warriors in fierce combat. His bold use of gold leaf and mineral pigments against ink-washed waves creates a striking contrast between the chaos of war and the screen’s inherent elegance. As a prime example of byobu (folding screen) art from the Edo period, this work reflects the Kano school’s fusion of native Yamato-e traditions with Chinese-inspired landscape techniques. Historical screens like this were not merely decorative—they symbolized power in elite settings, marking Kaiho’s piece as both artistic treasure and cultural artifact.
For modern spaces, this screen commands attention as a statement piece. In a high-ceilinged office, its gold accents would harmonize with walnut furnishings and deep green walls, while the turbulent battle scene adds gravitas to executive areas. At home, place it against a neutral backdrop in a study or dining room to let the vivid pigments shine; its 5–6 foot span suits large walls but can also divide spaces elegantly. Pair with minimalist décor to avoid visual competition—think low-profile black lacquer tables or monochrome ceramics that echo the ink washes. For color continuity, introduce navy textiles or bronze accents that pick up the palette of warriors’ armor. As a functional art piece, it bridges traditional grandeur with contemporary sophistication.
