The story

This screen was used in the 18th century in the palaces of Japanese aristocrats. The Byobu had two functions: to partition an open space and to block evil spirits.
The Japanese floral decoration from the 18th century directly inspired the European Art Nouveau based on the 3 Fs: Fauna, Flora, Feminine.
