A stunning pair of six-panel Japanese screens from the Late Meiji to Showa Period, featuring a majestic pine tree hand-painted on silver leaf. The pine tree gracefully spans across the two screens, creating a continuous and striking visual statement. The use of ink and color on the silver background enhances the artwork’s elegance, making it a captivating centerpiece.
The painting is by 中岛秋圃 (1878-1961), with the artist’s seals present on both screens. Attached to the back of each screen are tags containing the artist’s biography. The tags, partially obscured by black paint, indicate that this piece was once part of the collection at Gokuraku-ji Temple in Kamakura.
