This is an impressive screen that belongs to the N. Chatzivasileiou Collection. It dates to the Momoyama period (1573-1615) and it is believed to be the work of Kano Eitoku (1543-1590). It consists of 6 panels and it portrays a Chinese emperor surrounded by his court inside the palace garden. A large part of the screen is covered with leaves of gold signifying affluence. Gold was used in order to reflect more light and thereby illuminate rooms creating a relaxing atmosphere. The influence of Chinese painting is discernible in the rendition of the figures and the trees. On the whole, Japanese folding screens are impressive works of art, which are often decorated with interesting and beautiful scenes.
