A huge exhibition screen by Nakamura Masahiko (1897-1964) featuring a gagaku dancer striking a definitive pose before flaming phoenix on a background of mirror image five storied pagodas. Pigment on silk in a red lacquered wooden frame typical of the era. It is similar in content to his 1927 submission to the Nitten National Exhibition, and can be associated with that time. Each panel is 94.5 x 233 cm (37 x 92 inches) and it is in overall fine condition, with typical marks from handling and age. Nakamura was born in Shizuoka, and studied painting in Tokyo under avant garde Kawabata Ryushi, where he settled before the second world war. Due to size the cost of shipping will be accrued separately for this item.
