A pair of Japanese folding screens in ink on paper, included here as a contextual work linking painted imagery, animal symbolism, and ritual imagination.
Tiger and dragon imagery carries cosmological meaning, and the museum notes possible links to divination. The work broadens the exhibition’s ritual frame, though it is a contextual rather than core craft object.
This is a near-match object rather than a primary craft example. Its value lies in showing how ritual ideas and symbolic systems could circulate through painted screens.
