Antique Byobu - Botan & Ayame

As an authentic piece from the mid-19th century, this exquisite screen features the Botan (Peony) and Ayame (Iris). White Peonies represent wealth and nobility, while the Iris symbolises strength and protection. It showcases a delicate balance of gold leaf and hand-painted pigments on a paper ground. It is sold on an "as is" basis to preserve its antique character.
