'Shohekiga' Partition Paintings - Machiya House Features
Slide open the door to reveal ‘shohekiga’ (partition paintings) . The feudal lords of the late Warring States Period favored sliding doors and walls with artwork painted in brilliant gold and bold colors. They decorated their castles not only for their luxurious ornamentation, but also to show their power and authority after winning a war. Nijo Castle, the residence of the Tokugawa clan in Kyoto, still displays some of these beautiful shohekiga paintings.
