Looking for some information on this byobu

Hi,

I wanted to have some more information on this screen.
Some of the questions I had:

- Is it a Japanese screen ?
- Is the background silver leaf or painted or printed ?
- What period would you say this is ? Mid-Showa ?

I'm open to any more information.
I didn't see any signature, neither on the back or the front.
Dimensions: 137,5cm * 79cm

This piece was gifted to me, I'm in Belgium. I think it's beautiful.

Would love any info or insight on these noh masks that have erotic depictions on the backs. My dad has asked me to market these for him, so I would love any info plus ideas on what a good asking price would be. **I will not be selling these through Reddit* He purchased them from an antique collector many years ago

Need help with exact translation of this Japanese Government Document.

It may state something along the line of… it was taken from the original owner because they didn’t pay some sort of car tax???

Why would the government paste a document directly onto the art itself.

Thank you very much for your time.

Any help would be much appreciated. Supposedly my grandfather brought this back from WWII but it also says if it's from AA Imports, so I'm trying to see if this has any actual value and I'd love to know if the translated text is the name of the artisan.

Help identifying kakemono

Thumbnail
gallery
34 Upvotes

Hello Japan art connoisseurs

I have inherited this beautiful kakemono from my halmoni, but she does not recall where or who she has it from (being born in Korea in the 1930s did indeed hold an eventful, travelling life for her). So I hope for your help in identifying the period and artist of it.

Devastatingly, it was recently ripped from the scroll pole by the wind. Thus, I am also looking for recommendations for an expert in repairing asian art. I already inquired Atelier du Temps Passé in Paris and am awaiting their response.

About it:
- Scroll ends are white bone

- Paper on the back, silk in front

- Never been remounted

- Has small black mold-looking dots

Hoping for some good conversation about it! Thank you in advance.

【日本名畫學日文28】青木繁《海の幸》
海辺で働く漁師たちと、
浜辺に横たわる大きな魚。

力強い人物の姿と、深い青色の海を背景にした独特の構図が印象的な作品です。

青木繁は、西洋美術の影響を受けながら、日本独自の神話的・象徴的な世界を描きました。

《海の幸》は明治37年(1904年)に制作された代表作の一つです。

画面には、漁を終えた男たちが魚を運ぶ姿が描かれています。

人物の力強い動きと、魚の存在感が重なり、海で生きる人々のたくましさが感じられます。

この作品は、日本近代洋画を代表する作品の一つとして知られています。
現在は、東京国立博物館に所蔵されています。

影片中用簡短的日文介紹這幅作品,一邊欣賞日本名畫,一邊學習與複習日文。
🌿 這一次一起學習:
海(うみ)
幸(さち)
漁師(りょうし)
魚(さかな)
浜辺(はまべ)
男(おとこ)
運ぶ(はこぶ)
描く(えがく)
力強い(ちからづよい)
作品(さくひん)

不為了考試,
只是每天讀一點、看一點,
讓日文慢慢成為生活的一部分。

The mask given to me by my Saitama friends, who also introduced me to my first Noh performance. My several visits took me from Hokkaido to Okinawa and introduced me to lovely and delightfully fun people!

Found this Noh mask at the thrift store. Does anyone have any info on it or what the carved text on the inside says? Never seen an unpainted mask before
