Byobu (Folding Screens)//Japanese screens, gbyobuh in the Japanese language, were originally used to separate rooms and as enclosures for intimate spaces. Byobu literally means gwind wallh. 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 Issouh 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.
