Description
Tsuitate room divider screen Wood frame and panel. The panel has caved Kanji and orchid images. Around the panel in red is a thunder line motif. On the front of the panel the Kanji may be translated as "Spring Breeze; rain brings forth flowers as well as causing them to melt into the earth. We were friends once, but are now enemies. Everything in the world is like the flowers" On the back are two seal style characters referring to longevity. The top decorative beam is broken into two parts and the panels were not in the frame when it was donated. Some cornices are also held in place by cotton thread. A small carved gourd may be part of the piece.
