Miniature Screens as Japanese Table Decoration

Byobu are large folding screens originally used in Japanese homes for protection against draughts. Known to exist from the 8th century, the multi-paneled byobu were richly decorated in the 17th century, when they became a status symbol for the wealthy. Gold leaf was applied as a background for paintings of landscape or genre motifs. Cranes, rivers, and trees are often found on the screens, which can be made of a varying number of panels.

Miniature versions of byobu are commonly placed behind an ikebana vase, a bonsai tree, or any other treasured object. Our selection of miniature screens includes replicas of famous antique byobu. Placed on a shelf, behind a table lamp, or on a side table, they are a very elegant way to give your home an authentic Japanese look.
