click for details		Mellott, Richard Antiques 415-924-7182 $4,750
Offered here is a great work of Japanese folk art. It is a four panel futon cover mounted as a two-panel folding screen. The fabric of the cover is 100% home-spun cotton with a rice paste resist and painted design (tsutsugaki in Japanese) of a large colorful Phoenix (Hoo) landing on a paulownia tree. The multiple colors of the Phoenix are highly decorative and almost amusing in their patterns. Obviously the maker had fun making this piece. I had the screen made in Kyoto nearly 25 years in o ...click for details
