Description
The furosaki byōbu is a traditional two-panel folding screen used in Japanese tea ceremonies. It defines the host’s workspace, frames utensils, and offers practical benefits like draft protection. Designed with wabi-sabi principles, it features natural materials such as wood, bamboo, washi paper, or silk. This mint-condition screen from Toyama measures L89.5 x D3.5 x H73 cm when closed and L179 x D2 x H73 cm when open.

I bought this Furosaki screen for my home tea setup and it’s been a great addition. The natural wood and straw construction feels authentic and sturdy, though the washi paper shows fingerprints easily. At 520 dollars, it’s pricier than some alternatives, but the craftsmanship justifies the cost. Perfect size for my small ceremony space. Nothing beats the serene atmosphere it creates – very zen.
