Vigorous and lively pine trees are portrayed over the high quality grass paper in this signature folding screen of HAKUICHI.
The dynamic background is created by blowing the fine particles of gold leaves from the bottom, using the technique called Tsutsufuri. Rougher particles are used at the bottom and the particles become finer and finer toward the top, reminiscent of morning mist floating at the foot of pine trees or waves. As with many ink-brush paintings, this artwork leaves white, or golden, space in the background in a deliberate effort to intrigue the viewers’ imagination.
In contrast, the pine tree emits a strong shine that gives them a three-dimensional feel. Special material has been used to create texture on the omotebaku paper for the depiction of the tree's texture, tree trunk, and the blooming blossoms. As only one shade of metal leaf is used, different textures are used to create the images. A brush has been used to carefully paste the metal leaves that form the weeping cherry blossom.
The pine is a symbol of immortality and prosperity, as it is green throughout winter. Therefore, this folding screen can be displayed throughout the year.
