The original of this painting currently resides in the Smithsonian Institute of Fine Art in Washington DC.  The original dates to the early 1600s.  It was created by Japanese artist Tawaraya Sōtatsu of the Tokugawa period (1603–1867). The I’nen seal is a mark that was placed on several Tawaraya Sotatsu works during his lifetime, an indication that they were produced either by his own hand or by his studio. The seal was used with greater frequency by the studio’s artists after Sōtatsu’s death in 1640.

Today, the Sotatus mark continues to be used on depictions of his artwork.  This piece is entitled "Trees" and is a near perfect reproduction of the original 17th century artwork.  There are six panel folding screens. All types of Japanese evergreens are lined up across a gold foil background. Several art schools in Japan followed this style, most notably the Kano School. The mediums used were ink and color on gold foil paper.  Beautiful representation of early 17th century Japanese art.  Measures 16" X 35".  Nicely framed
