Folding screens have always been a part of my life, especially during my growing up years. My father bought several beautiful screens, one two-fold and the other a tri-fold,both decorated with flowers and trees, one being an enchanting embroidered cherry tree, flowering profusely. The other was what appeared to be dogwood trees.
The first screen you show is incredibly detailed, the embroidery work is so tedious with the screens. I look forward to hearing/seeing more about these traditional pieces, and why is it they have gone out of favor?
