Byōbu / Folding Screens

Byōbu / Folding Screens – Traditional Japanese Art for Celebration and Interior Elegance

Discover the timeless beauty of byōbu (Japanese folding screens), handcrafted by master artisans using traditional techniques such as gold leaf and raised gold decoration (kinsai).

Originally created to block the wind and divide spaces, folding screens evolved into cultural treasures that symbolize protection, prosperity, and celebration. With motifs such as pine trees, cranes, and phoenixes, they carry auspicious meanings of longevity and good fortune.

Each piece serves not only as a decorative backdrop for hina dolls or samurai armor dolls (Gogatsu Ningyō), but also as a refined interior artwork that brings a touch of Japanese elegance to modern living spaces.

Bring home a folding screen that embodies both artistry and tradition—a cultural treasure to be cherished for generations.
