Folding screen under construction

A folding screen is being made in practice.

The folding screen is by the number of folded fans (masks),

The name of the folding screen is “Ni-kyoku,” “Shikyoku,” or “Rokkyoku,” depending on the number of folded fans,

This time, we are trying “Shikyoku”.

The photo shows the paper guard (kamitsugai), which connects the fan and the fan.

The folding screen itself was imported from China, but this paper guard is said to be uniquely Japanese.

The mechanism is simple, but when it comes down to making it, it is surprisingly difficult…

Since strong paper is desirable, we use the old anti-waste paper (paper those is no longer needed).

We will report back on our progress!

We also accept orders for original folding screens, hanging scrolls, and frames like this, so please contact us.
