Autumn Chrysanthemum Chrysanthemums Folding Screen Gold Leaf Screen Spring Wheat Interior Design
Flowers of All Seasons
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning mid-17th century Japanese folding screen, showcasing the beauty and vibrancy of various flowers throughout the year. The six-panel screen, decorated with intricate designs in ink color and gold leaf on paper, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan during this period. The screen opens to reveal an exquisite display of chrysanthemums, symbolizing longevity and perseverance, adorning the autumnal scene. Gold leaves cascade down from the branches, adding a touch of elegance and luxury. As we move onto the next panel, we are greeted by the freshness of spring with blooming plum blossoms and the delicate pink hues of cherries. The third panel represents the warmth and vitality of summer, with lotus flowers in full bloom, their large, lush petals unfurling in the sun. The fourth panel, with its playful peonies, signifies prosperity and happiness. The fifth panel showcases wheat, symbolizing abundance and harvest during the wintry season. The final panel, with its simple yet elegant design of winter branches, completes the cycle of the seasons. This pair of screens, with their intricate designs and exquisite use of color and gold, were not only used for decorative purposes but also served as interior design elements, adding a touch of natural beauty to the indoors. The screen is currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, a renowned art center and gallery, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
