Standing Screens of Paulownias and Phoenixes
Title
Standing Screens of Paulownias and Phoenixes
Subject
Japanese, a pair of eight-fold standing screens with gold leaf depicting a flock of phoenixes on a landscape with trees in bloom and a black river. The river was most likely intended to be silver, but over time the tarnish has caused it to become black. Please note that these images do not actually have white lines in between each panel. These images were scanned from an exhibition catalogue. These standing screens were included in this website for evidence within the Phoenix Composed Exhibition.
