This folding screen is an accurate reproduction of Wind God and Thunder God by Tawaraya Sōtatsu, a renowned artist of the late 17th century. It has been hand-drawn to reenact the drawing techniques of the time as closely as possible. The copy of the original artwork is made possible using specific methods for pasting, which allow the natural creases and textures of gold leaf to be expressed. The effects of time on the wind god and the thunder god illustrations, drawn with mineral pigments, and the brushwork used to draw the the contour have been replicated successfully. The illustrations in this epic work took one month to complete.
