FAQs

Folding screens, known as byobu or tsuitate in Japan, originated as portable room dividers to block drafts and create private spaces. During the late Edo and Meiji periods, decorative screens featuring lacquer, mother-of-pearl, and bone inlay became highly sought after both domestically and as luxury export items for Western collectors.

These screens typically utilise a dense hardwood frame surrounding lacquered wooden panels. The raised decorative elements are carved from materials such as bone, mother-of-pearl, horn, and ivory, set directly into the lacquer surface alongside metallic paint or gold powder details.

Authentic period screens feature hand-carved hardwood frames with precise joinery, complex natural lacquering processes, and intricate relief carving on the inlay materials. Look for hand-finished details in the bone carving, subtle oxidisation on hardware, and original wooden backings.

A decorative folding screen can be displayed open on a sideboard, placed inside an unused fireplace alcove, or mounted flat on a wall as framed artwork. Its dark tones and intricate textures pair well with minimal contemporary decor or classic traditional settings.

Keep the screen away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent the wood from warping and the lacquer from cracking. Clean gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding chemical solvents, water, or abrasive polishes that could lift the delicate inlay work.
