Small Silver Folding Screen with Sunago-Style Textured Surface Two Panels Furosaki Byobu Room Dividers VA918

Furosaki Byobu is a folding screen of two panels, which is placed in the corner at the upper end of the tea-making tatami mat when the tea ceremony procedure is done.

This elegant two-panel Japanese folding screen (furosaki byōbu) features a refined silver surface enhanced with sunago-style texture — a traditional decorative technique in which fine metallic flakes (sunago) are scattered across the surface to create a subtle, shimmering effect. The result is a minimalist yet luxurious finish that reflects light with quiet sophistication. Measuring 82.5 cm in height and 186 cm in width, this screen is ideal for use in tea ceremony settings, alcove displays (tokonoma), or as a compact room divider in modern interiors. The two-panel format is typical of furosaki byōbu, originally designed to be placed in front of the hearth (furo) during tea gatherings, serving both aesthetic and functional purposes. The silver-toned surface evokes a sense of calm and purity, while the sunago texture adds depth and visual interest without overwhelming the space. Its understated elegance makes it suitable for both traditional and contemporary environments. Signs of age and wear may be present, contributing to its antique character and authenticity. A tasteful example of Japanese interior art, ideal for collectors of tea ceremony furnishings, minimalist design, or decorative screens.
