17th Century Japanese Screen. Karako Asobi: Chinese Children at Play.
Located in Kyoto, JP
Anonymous Kano school artist
17th century
"Karako Asobi: Chinese Children at Play"
A two-panel Japanese Furosaki screen. Ink, pigment, gofun and gold-leaf on paper.
This small Japanese Karako folding screen vividly depicts various games played by children wearing wearing elaborate Chinese T'ang dynasty costumes. They are dressed in plumed and tasseled hats, ornate jackets, baggy pants, and cloth slippers typical of T'ang period Chinese court dress. The children are depicted pulling a younger child along in a cart, carrying another child as if an important official, riding a wooden horse, leading a puppy and carrying a tethered bird. Executed in fine-quality pigments on gold leaf, the detail, variety and size of the figures is noteworthy. Also notable is the size of this screen itself, which denotes it as a Furosaki screen. A Furosaki screen is part of the equipment used for the Japanese tea-ceremony. It is traditionally placed on tatami mats behind the brazier highlighting the utensils and providing a focal point.
Karako is a Japanese term used in art with the depiction of Chinese children playing...
