Byobu (Folding Screens)//Japanese screens, gbyobuh in the Japanese language, were originally used to separate rooms and as enclosures for intimate spaces. Byobu literally means gwind wallh. Many luxurious Byobu for decorative purposes were created in the Muromachi period (late 16th Century). //Byobu most commonly found in Japan have six panels and they can be folded to store. They are called gRokkyoku Issouh and created as a pair. The most common size of Byobu is 170 cm high and 200 cm wide. // There are various types of Byobu.For example, Furosaki-Byobu screens which are created to hide objects from the people sitting on the tatami mats are approximately 50 cm high, lower than the other Boyobu. // Although we mainly introduce Byobu from the Edo period, we sometimes sell old ones before the Edo period or new ones from the 20th century. // Please discover the world of brilliant Japanese beauty through our Byobu lineup.
