Gold leaf, Japanese Art and screens.

Hello,
last week I went to the Prado Museum. There is always something new to see.
On this occasion there was an exhibition about two Japanese screens.
It was a wonderful surprise because  three things that I like a lot, came together, gold leaf, Japanese Art and screens.
Two Japanese screens painted on paper were display in the Central Gallery of the Prado Museum.
This was the first time that works of this type have been displayed at the  Museum.
The Japanese screens belong to the Rimpa School, which extends for almost the entire Edo period (1603-1868), a time that coincides with the complete isolation of Japan regarding external influences.
