Twin Dragon Folding Screen Byōbu – Two-Panel Enamel Finish

Handcrafted in Japan, this two-panel folding screen (byōbu) features a striking enamel-like finish with bold lacquer surfaces that embody refined traditional craftsmanship. Its tall format and precise hinge construction highlight the work of Japanese artisans, making it an exceptional decorative and cultural piece.

The screen presents two golden dragons facing one another across a copper-toned sky, their forms emerging from swirling clouds. This dynamic composition symbolizes confrontation, balance, and the harmony of opposing forces—a powerful motif deeply rooted in Japanese myth and symbolism. The luminous gold against the warm metallic background produces a dramatic yet elegant visual effect.

Delivered as a complete, ready-to-display piece, this byōbu requires no assembly. Ideal as a backdrop for samurai armor, kabuto, or as a sophisticated interior accent, it stands as both an artwork and a statement of tradition. Worldwide shipping available.
