Antique Japanese Screen, Cranes and Turtles, Meiji
A fine painting of cranes and turtles under an aged pine dating from the later 19th century performed with pigment on paper. Clouds of genuine applied gold hem in the mystical realm of longevity, for which the crane, turtle and pine are representatives. We may also notice, peering out from the pine a blossoming plum and a small stand of bamboo, capturing the three friends of winter (shochikubai, plum, pine and bamboo). The scene is bordered in beautiful blue silk with a black lacquered wooden frame backed with sturdy blue cloth. The screen measures 18-1/2 by 53-1/2 inches (47 x 136 cm) fully extended and has been completely restored (without over-painting).
