2026 DREAMS OF EDO: JAPANESE SCROLLS & SCREENS WALL CALENDAR

Japan’s exquisite art often takes the form of hanging scrolls and folding screens. These scrolls, typically crafted from silk or paper, are adorned with ink, gold leaf, and mineral pigments, depicting portraits, mythological scenes, Buddhist texts, and the natural world. Folding screens, composed of multiple panels, showcase a similar variety of subjects but rarely include religious imagery. Both beautiful and functional, these pieces enhance the adaptable spaces of traditional Japanese homes. The calendar features elegant examples from the 16th to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into this rich artistic tradition.
