This folding screen was painted in the 1960s by Genpoh Morishita and distributed by Ohtgori Kohgei in Tokyo.

The screen consists of four panels, and the painting is set against a golden background. It depicts an imperial scene where music is enjoyed in the open nature, a charming and unique Japanese interior accent.

Byōbu (屏風) literally translates to 'wind wall' and was traditionally used to create private spaces and divide rooms.
