Golden folding screens, their surfaces decorated with glistening gold, are furnishings that brighten up a space. Not only have they been widely used in Japan, but were also presented to the kings of foreign countries from the Muromachi period (15th century) to the end of the Edo period (19th century), as the star of Japanese art. From the Meiji era (late 19th to early 20th century) onward, they were also developed as a form of artwork to be exhibited.
This exhibition invites visitors to a new look at the World of Gold, shifting from 2019's popular theme of Japan: Country of Gold - Screens of the Kanō, Hasegawa, Rinpa, and other schools.
In the first room, the Golden Cloud Room, a variety of golden clouds surround you, such as the powerful golden clouds at which the Kanō school excelled, and the elegant golden clouds in the Yamato-e style. In the Gold and Silver Room that follows, there are gold folding screens combined with silver leaf and powder to create a calming atmosphere. Meanwhile, in the Gold Base Room, entirely gold folding screens completely covered with gold leaf emit their brilliance, expanding into the Kōrin Style and Modern Folding Screens corners.
At the end of the exhibition, a live painting by Kotaro Fukui (1969-), a Japanese painter who is bringing the tradition of golden screens to the present age, will be unveiled.
*Some exhibits will be changed during the exhibition.
