[Goldsmithing / Made to Order] Small Folding Screen “Fujin and Raijin”

Main Features
HAKUICHI Four-Panel Small Folding Screen “Fujin Raijin” is an interior folding screen that recreates Tawaraya Sōtatsu’s famous “Wind God and Thunder God Screens” using Kanazawa foil. Fujin, the god of wind, and Raijin, the god of thunder and lightning, are expressed through HAKUICHI’s original foil techniques.

Rimpa Masterpiece for Modern Interiors
The official page presents this item as a way to enjoy Rimpa art as interior decor. Folding screens have long been used in Japanese life as room dividers, windbreaks, privacy screens, and ceremonial decorations. As modern homes became more compact, small folding screens were created as interior pieces that are easier to display.

Tawaraya Sōtatsu’s Masterpiece in Kanazawa Foil
The original artwork is Tawaraya Sōtatsu’s “Wind God and Thunder God Screens.” The official page describes Sōtatsu as a great painter and one of the founders of the Rimpa school, alongside Ogata Kōrin. “Fujin Raijin” is introduced as one of Sōtatsu’s most famous masterpieces.

Powerful Expression with Kanazawa Foil
This folding screen uses vivid Kanazawa foil, including gold leaf, as well as silver pigment, ink, and pigments. The powerful figures of the two gods are expressed with a highly original sense of color and strong visual impact.

HAKUICHI’s Original Special Technique
Because foil art can easily appear flat, one of the biggest challenges was how to express the strength and movement of the original artwork. HAKUICHI uses its own special techniques, including naturally colored foil, different shades of genuine gold leaf, and flake-like foil pieces to create depth. Details such as outlines and hair are carefully finished by hand, giving the piece a more three-dimensional and dynamic look.
