Paintings – Japanese / Asian Paintings
The screens were originally the fusuma (sliding doors) painting of the Prince Hachijo family when it was first established. Because Prince Toshihito, founder of the Hachijo family was adopted by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the Hachijo family is associated with Kano Eitoku, and these works are considered to be by painters who inherited Eitoku's will. When the four-fold screen is placed between the pair of two-fold screens, it becomes a design of flowers and grasses of the four seasons with chrysanthemums in the center. Eitoku' s style is succeeded within the majestic depiction of lovely flowers.It was formerly owned by the Prince Katsura Family.（「Passing Art works to the Future」2013）
