UNUSUAL Japanese Woodblock Tea Room Screen, Hanga
A furosaki tea room screen made of a very large hanga woodblock print in the fashion of Inui Tai mounted within a simple wooden frame and stamped in the lower left corner. An intriguing work, village roofs are visible over a sea of rice containing all manner of small country scenes. A cat glares at two frogs, boys pluck small fish from irrigation ditches, uniformed students ride on their way to school, a farmer carefully cares for his plants… The screen is entirely black and white, accentuating its primitive charm. Each panel is 16 by 35 inches (41.5 x 88.5 cm). The screen is backed in red patterned paper, with one scratch in the back, the front in perfect condition but for a shadow in the white paper reflecting the cloth from long exposure (see pictures).
