Outline of Final Research Achievements

Majority of the folding screen with Yamato-e painting from the middle age are decorated with gold, silver and mica leaves. Notably, ideas are beginning to take root, stating the distinct gold and silver-flecked design represents ‘Gold-plated folding screen’ in the ancient document during the Muromachi period. Nonetheless, as ‘Gold-plated folding screen’ remains little known, we attempted to recapture the piece by focusing on the technical aspect. After having some prototypes ready for examination, we found that smooth surface and thickness of the gold leaf contributed to the brightness of the leaf. Some mica undercoating have grainy texture and so they need to be either polished before sprinkling the gold leaf or work on the surface with the sprinkled gold leaf to produce a glossy appearance on the leaf. We assume the method can also be applied for further refining the mica undercoating with the thickness on the gold-leafed surface.
