Description
Some of Japan’s most exquisite art exists in the form of hanging
scrolls and folding screens. Japanese scrolls—usually made of silk
or paper decorated with ink, gold leaf, and mineral pigments—may
feature portraits or scenes from myth, Buddhist texts, everyday
life, or the natural world. Paneled folding screens display a similar
range of subjects, though they generally do not include religious
scenes. Both beautiful and practical, these pieces are well suited to
the changeable spaces inside a traditional Japanese home. Elegant
scrolls and screens, dating from the 18th to the 20th century, have
been selected for this calendar.
