A brief ...<b>Painted Panels: Japanese Folding Screens </b><br />A brief introduction to Japanese folding screens, and some of the words associated with them. <br />The Japanese word for folding screen is 屏風 (byōbu), with the character 屏 (byō) meaning to “cover” or “block” and 風 (bu) indicating a breeze or draft. Originally, the screens were used to block drafts and conceal interiors from outside gaze. However, from the Heian period (794–1185) onward, paintings on the screens transformed them into art objects.<br />.<br />https://www.nippon.com/en/japan-data/h01096/painted-panels-japanese-folding-screens.html<br />.Gabi Grevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16362456518166174106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3978356575024193756.post-29046845653366030942021-07-30T22:21:17.075-07:002021-07-30T22:21:17.075-07:00Ogata Gekkō (尾形 月耕, 1859-1920 ), kuchi-e 口絵

The following Gekko web site described "kuchi-e" as follows:<br />Kuchi-e are loosely classified as handmade multicoloured prints made for book frontispieces. They generally have 2 or 3 folds in the print as they were tucked into the book. At times it can be difficult to link the scene depicted to the actual story told. Gekko did the illustrations for a number of kuchi-e, the majority of images shown here are woodblock prints, the last one is a lithograph. Many of Gekko's kuchi-e were produced for the magazine Bungei Kurabu (Literary Club).<br />: http://www.ogatagekko.net/Kuchie.html<br />.Gabi Grevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16362456518166174106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3978356575024193756.post-38704573434710044952021-07-24T22:03:47.752-07:002021-07-24T22:03:47.752-07:00Kokuzo 虚空蔵と伝説 Legends about Kokuzo Bosatsu
