径成 Keisei Gold-Leaf 'Bamboo Grove' Byobu Two Panels Folding Screens Room Dividers VA914

with signature 'Keisei sei' 径成生

This two-panel folding screen presents a tranquil bamboo grove painted against a luminous gold-leaf ground, creating an atmosphere of quiet elegance and spatial depth. Slender bamboo stalks rise with gentle variation across the surface, their leaves rendered with soft, controlled brushwork that suggests movement and rhythm without excess, allowing areas of gold to breathe and reflect light subtly into the surrounding space. The composition is deliberately restrained, using asymmetry and negative space to evoke calm, balance, and the refined aesthetic traditionally associated with bamboo as a symbol of integrity, resilience, and humility. The warm gold ground enhances the sense of atmosphere while unifying the two panels into a cohesive visual field, making the screen suitable both as an architectural element and as a contemplative artwork. The piece is signed “Keisei sei” and is executed in hand-painted technique on paper in a classic two-panel byōbu format. As is typical for antique folding screens, there are age-related conditions including creases, stains, and areas of damage; these are visible in the listing photographs and should be regarded as part of the screen’s history and material presence, without detracting from the overall visual harmony and dignified character of the work.
