| Edo period Kimono hang from a lacquered frame on this gorgeous two panel silver screen dating from the turn of the 19th century. Dyed on the shoulder of the Chirimen silk lavender mans kimono is the Mitsuba-Aoi, official crest of the Tokugawa Shognate indicating the original kimono was property of the family which ruled Japan for 250 years. Below is chrysanthemum flowers (symbols of Imperial Power) embroidered over patterned Rinzu Satin. The other is completely embroidered with flower carts over patterned silk. Both are magnificent over the age tarnished silver. Each panel measures 27 inches by 5 feet (68 x 152 cm). There is some wear to the cloth at the inside hinge. It is backed with faded blue cloth in a polished mulberry frame | ||||||||||||||
