Mokuhanga Byoubu (Folding Screen)

A four-panel folding screen stands on a table outdoors, each panel printed with a single tree against a distinct ground colour: an olive-green panel with a pale, leaf-patterned tree and a small ladder at its base; a blue-green conifer with pale needle-like highlights and a small hut at its foot; a soft grey-green tree silhouette on a blush ground streaked with faint diagonal rain lines and a watering can beside its trunk; and a dark grey panel with a black bare-branched tree beneath a pale circular moon. The panels are bound in pale washi with visible cord hinges, and the screen is displayed against a blurred backdrop of green foliage and a lamppost.
