Outline of Final Research Achievements

The late Muromachi period to the early Edo period produced many screen paintings. Given that folding screens are composed and mounted for temporary display, and are architectural structures that divide and ornament space, in this research project, I tried to shed light on the spaces where these paintings were appreciated by re-placing these works, where possible, into their original contexts. This research covered the narrative paintings in the early 17th century, the appreciation and transformation of the “farming and weaving” scenes within the East Asian context, and Japanese-style paintings in the late 19th century.
