Dreams of Edo: Japanese Scrolls & Screens 2027 Wall Calendar
Description
Some of Japan's most exquisite art exists in the form of hanging scrolls and folding screens. Japanese scrolls - usually made of silk or paper decorated with ink, gold leaf, and mineral pigments - may feature portraits or scenes from myth, Buddhist texts, everyday life, or the natural world, as in the delightful images reproduced here. Folding screens, usually composed of numerous panels feature a similar range of subjects, though they generally do not include religious scenes. Both beautiful and practical, these pieces are well suited to the changeable spaces inside a traditional Japanese home. Elegant scrolls and screens, dating from the 16th to the 20th century, have been selected for this calendar.
