20th c., Shōwa period gouache and gold leaf Japanese screen. Depicting plum tree blossoms on a riverbank across 6 panels. Plum blossoms are often mentioned in Japanese poetry as a symbol of spring.

typically ornamented with calligraphy or pictorial images. This is a very fine example; highly decorative and of excellent quality.

Condition:
Good, some wear at hinges consistent with age and use. Shows well. Ready to place.
