A RARE EARLY SIX-PANEL BYOBU (FOLDING SCREEN) DEPICTING A FAMILY OF CRANES IN A PINE, MOMOYAMA TO EARLY EDO

Japan, late 16th-early 17th century, Momoyama (1573-1615) to early Edo period (1615-1868)

Ink, watercolors, and gold leaf on paper. Mounted with silk brocade on six panels within a black-lacquered frame with metal fittings. Exquisitely painted with a mother crane shielding her three chicks with outstretched wings, their heads still lacking the red crowns, their beaks agape, all nesting in a large, old pine tree covered in vines and fungi. The male approaches from the distance, flying back to his family over towering cedar trees partly obscured by thick, gold clouds.

SIZE 172.8 x 370 cm

Condition: Good condition with minor wear, few minor tears which have been stabilized, the gold leaf with some losses and associated minor repairs and touchups. Overall presenting well.

Cranes and pine trees are two powerful subjects often depicted together in Japanese art, representing longevity, happiness, and good fortune. The crane is one of the most prominent symbols of longevity and good fortune in Asia. The red-crowned, or Japanese, cranes depicted in the painting on the present screen are said to live for a thousand years and to traverse between heaven and earth. In turn, these attributes have made them logical companions of sennin, the Taoist Immortals. The pine is an auspicious symbol in Japan, representing longevity due to its long life, and endurance as it remains green throughout the winter months.
