These screens were originally the fusuma ( sliding doors ) paintings 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 left screen of the Birds and Flowers is placed between the two screens of Four Seasons Flowers, it becomes a design of flowers and grasses of the four seasons with chrysanthemums in the center, and it can be assumed that the right screen of Birds and Flowers was the opposite side fusuma painting. Eitoku's style is succeeded within the majestic depiction of lovely flowers. It was formerly owned by the Prince Katsura Family.(「New Edition Grace, Beauty and Inqenuity-Masterpices of the Museum of Imperial Collections, Sannomaru Shozokan Vol.1」2003)
