What led me to ``creating a modern version of folding screens'' was that the world was exposed to the raging force of the coronavirus, and our lives changed completely.
We live in a world where we need some sort of ``partition''...so I instinctively came up with the idea of ``folding screens.''
Folding screens aren't just for viewing, they're also highly functional, and the more I learned about their structure and purpose, the more fascinated I became with them.
Folding screens, which were essential furniture in people's lives until the Edo period, are rarely seen these days. On the other hand, ``Japan's unique Japanese culture'' overseas is only becoming more attractive in all its aspects.
What if we revived it in the form of a ``modern folding screen'' that is a fusion of ``Japanese tradition'' and ``the present era''? ... This BIOMBO is a work of art that was created over a three-year period by calling on craftsmen who are proud of their traditional skills.
