Condition Report of the Japanese “Tatsuta” screen
Condition Report of the Japanese “Tatsuta” screen
On February 21, we welcomed four experts from the Tokyo National Research Institute for Cultural Properties (TOBUNKEN). The goal of their visit was to assess the condition of the Japanese screen representing the Tatsuta River, exhibited on the 2nd floor of the museum.
Acquired in 1964 by the Baur Foundation at the opening of the museum, this screen, was recently featured in Japan.
Its monumentality, the presence of the signature of the master Kanô Shôsen'in Tadanobu (1823-1880), as well as the quality of its workmanship and its materials are all elements which have made it possible to identify it as the one of the precious paintings described in the Japanese inventories mentioning the objects that accompanied Tokugawa Akitake, younger brother of the shogun Yoshinobu, in Paris on the occasion of the International Exhibition of 1867.
Confirming the unique status of this screen, the condition report carried out by the four experts will allow us to progress in the understanding of materials and techniques and to ensure its proper conservation.
