Yosa Buson (1716-83) made this pair of folding screens during the so-called "byôbukô jidai", the period when Buson was impoverished and his disciples provided financial support enabling him to work on folding screens. As in Wild Horses, another pair of folding screens produced during this period, shiny silk (J., nume) was used instead of regular silk. This work conveys an especially gentle and clean impression. The sizes of the right and left screens do not match for some reason: perhaps Buson did not have enough shiny silk to afford screens of the same size.
