Hello, this item is a four-panel Japanese folding screen (byōbu), measuring approximately 67 inches wide by 3 feet high, painted in mineral pigments and ink on paper with gold-toned ground, depicting a classical landscape scene with pine trees, rocky outcrops, flowing water, and small blue birds. The composition, decorative gold background, stylized waves, and calligraphic signature in the lower left indicate a mid-20th century Japanese workshop screen rather than an earlier Edo-period example. The subject matter and technique align with export and decorative screens produced from the 1940s through 1960s, often purchased by servicemen stationed in Japan and brought back to the West, which matches the family history provided. The signature appears to be an artist’s studio name rather than a major listed master, and the construction, scale, and painting style support a post-war decorative byōbu intended for interior display. Condition appears very good from the images, with intact hinges, no visible tears to the paper surface, and stable pigment, which is a strong positive for this type of object.
From a market perspective, mid-20th century Japanese four-panel screens of comparable size and quality typically trade between USD 800 and USD 2,000 depending on visual appeal, condition, and whether the artist can be firmly identified. As this example presents well, retains its full four-panel format, and shows an attractive traditional landscape but lacks attribution to a known school or painter, its realistic current fair market value falls in the range of USD 1,000 to USD 1,500.
