I bought this furosaki screen for my home tea room, and it’s a beautiful addition. The timber feels sturdy, and the gold leaf detailing is tasteful, not gaudy. It’s lightweight yet well-built, and the seasonal motifs are subtle and elegant. Perfect size for my space—screens off the kitchen area nicely. Came in mint condition as described. Great value for authentic Japanese craftsmanship. Rainn Wilson would probably love this for his meditation corner.
