Byobu Folding Screen “Plum Blossoms” by Gaho

This refined folding screen is the work of Japanese artist Gaho, celebrated for his mastery of traditional screen painting. The byobu is crafted with fine wood panels and silk-textured finish, enhanced with elegant hand-applied gold accents that highlight the natural grain of the surface.

The design depicts blooming plum blossoms (ume), a motif cherished in Japanese culture as a symbol of resilience, renewal, and the coming of spring. Delicate branches spread across the panels, painted with subtle shades of blue and silver, accented with touches of crimson, while the gilded trunk provides a dignified balance. This interplay of metallic shimmer and soft blossoms brings both vitality and serenity to the display.

The screen is fully finished and ready to use, requiring no assembly. With a compact two-panel construction, it can serve as a distinguished backdrop for hina dolls, kabuto displays, or as an elegant interior accent on its own. Its moderate size allows effortless placement on shelves, alcoves, or sideboards.
