Item description:. The lead warrior charges headstrong into the frothing waves, a band of mounted warriors following across the six panels of this mid Edo period gilded screen. Cherry blossoms, symbol of impermanence and the life of the warrior, and pines, symbol of strength and long life, create teh back drop, with clouds of gold applied smoothly and over a pebble textured surface defining the characters. A well painted rendition of this famous scene from the epic Taiheiki . The screen has been restored at some point in the distant past. It is bordered in patterned blue silk with black lacquered wooden frame and features antique backing paper. Well painted and proportioned, in an easy to wall mount size. It measures 4 feet by 112-1/2 inches (122 x 286 cm) and is in fine condition, with only minor insect damage and fissures in the heavy pigment typical of age.
