Charming mid-20th century Japanese Showa period four-panel folding byobu screen featuring blossoming spring flowers over a bold gilt background. The painting depicts iris, camella, wild pinks, dandelion, and daisy with delicate and intricate brushwork. Ink and natural color pigments over gilt paper.

The composition is based loosely on Rimpa style works by Sosetsu and painted in the Nihonga school style. The front has one old repaired small loss as seen in photos. From an estate in Malibu, CA.
