A pair of six-panel Japanese folding screens depicting pair of dragons in the mist; ink(Sumi) on paper, silver foil mounted with silk brocade border. The dragon pair embodies elemental qualities – looming out of the mist, one the left screen the coil of its body emerging from the waves and on the right piece the other body disappearing in winds. The composition of the picture is majestic and the ink is properly blended, highlighting the mysterious power of the dragon totem.
In Japanese culture, the dragon was seen as a symbol of strength, wisdom, and supernatural powers.
