| Sculptured black pines rise from the misty forest floor, yellow sky fading beyond; a brilliant modernist rendition of this traditional theme by Yamauchi Issei (b. 1929). The entire scene is performed with colored paper, applied directly or wetted and applied as pulp. Fantastical shapes seem to dance across the two panel canvas. Gold strips applied in the upper branches are sunlight’s last rays reflecting off the needles, the yellow sky implicating late summer dusk. Saved from the harshness of day, the forest floor is cool, and gray waves seem to lap at the shore beyond. The screen features a rare shunkei-nuri red lacquer wooden frame, and is backed with handmade paper. It is 61 by 61 inches open (155 x 155 cm), and in fine condition. The paper artist Issei works from his studio in Aichi prefecture, his works have been presented at any number of exhibitions, both domestically and nationally, including the Nitten. | ||||||||||||||
