SPRING AND WINTER IN HIGASHIYAMA

The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

We have sought to record changes in its condition acquired after its original manufacture.
- Overall both screens are in good condition.
- As it typical of this type of folding screen there are a few very minor surface marks, mainly around the hinges. The hinges themselves are in good condition.
- There are a few minute surface losses of gold pigment to the winter screen - 2nd panel from the right, near the top edge.
- The reverse of each screen is mounted with silk which has very minor wear in a few places consistent with age.
- The fitted wood box has some old wear overall consistent with its age and use, but is sturdy and in good working order.
