What is a modern folding screen?

Folding screens were both "furniture" and "decoration" essential to people's lives until the Edo period.
Put up a folding screen wherever you like...It was used to avoid people's attention and to separate spaces.
The atmosphere of the room changes completely depending on the theme drawn on the folding screen.
We have improved its functionality and artistic quality so that it can be used in a variety of situations and suits the current living environment.

The pattern where the surfaces connect is continuous and the delicacy is amazing!

Traditional folding screens are made by an artist who carefully paints the finished folding screen, such as a plain or gold folding screen, with the screen flattened.
Therefore, the pattern is broken at the point where the surfaces connect. (A plain line appears vertically at the boundary between the surfaces.) (*See Figure 1)

Additionally, partitions that are generally sold at low prices tend to be heavy. Also, the surfaces are easily connected with metal hinges, so there is a gap. (*See Figure 2)

The modern version of the folding screen® has no gaps. The modern version of the folding screen® has a continuous pattern where the surfaces connect, giving it a beautiful finish. (*See Figure 3)

Lightweight due to craftsmanship...Easily portable and easy to display and enjoy!

The weight of the Modern Byobu® is carefully adjusted during the production process, so it weighs between 6 and 10 kg, making it easy to move.

You can quickly put it out when you have guests over, or move it to serve as a background during an online meeting.
It can be folded and stored when not in use.

We use three carefully selected art materials that match the modern environment, so you can enjoy both the front and back sides.

First of all, the famous designs on ancient folding screens were ``Fujin and Raijin'', ``Mt. We have selected the best products from a professional perspective.

In ancient times, folding screens generally had even numbers, such as ``2 sides (curved)'', ``4 sides'', and ``6 sides''. The modern version of the folding screen® has newly adopted "three sides".
These three aspects are very meaningful.

For example, if you have 2 sides, it will basically be in the shape of the letter "V", and if you have 4 sides, it will be in the shape of a "W", and you can only place the letters in the shape seen from above. With 3 sides, there is no front or back side, and even if you rotate it 180 degrees horizontally, the shape will remain the same (3 sides are ``N'', so to speak, and even if you flip it over, it will remain ``N'').

Craftsmanship that resides in the details of each item produced by hand by craftsmen with traditional skills

Bottom photo: Black matte brushed eyes By adding a little extra effort to the matte finish to create a brushed look, the finish has an indescribable sense of warmth.
Elegant glossy white paint
Since many interior rooms these days are based on white, we also created a special white color. It has a glossy and elegant color close to off-white.
Black paint that reproduces lacquer painting
The paint is finished in the highest quality black using craftsmanship. Rather than being matte, the black lacquer has been reproduced by skilled craftsmen.
Rolling method
Partitions often have their edges cut off, which can cause them to peel off over time. The modern version of Byobu® uses the ``wrapping method'', in which the painting material is rolled up to the inside of the frame, resulting in a beautiful finish right down to the edges.
