He was much influenced by the style and colour of the crafts of Okinawa (the former kingdom of Ryukyu), a group of islands to the south of Japan. Serizawa was especially attracted to the Okinawan textile art of <i>bingata</i>, a distinctive and very colourful form of stencilled resist-dyeing, which he first encountered at a regional products promotion exhibition in 1928. This screen, executed in the <i>bingata </i>technique, shows a map is of the main island of Okinawa, and the vignettes around it depict different aspects of Okinawan life and crafts. ","physicalDescription":"Six panel screen of stencilled resist-dyed silk on a wooden framework backed by handmade paper. The four middle panels show a map of Okinawa resisted against a clear blue ground. On the map are further stencilled polychrome designs and Japanese characters. On the two outside panels are round resisted vignettes depicting Okinawan scenes of farming, weaving and pottery-making as well as finished pots, bolts of <i>bingata</i> cloth and a group of three dancers wearing <i>bingata</i> kimono.\r\nEach panel is surrounded with a wooden border painted in light brown, and the screen is backed with handmade paper.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Serizawa Keisuke","id":"A2378"},"association":{"text":"artist","id":"AAT25103"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"silk (textile)","id":"AAT243428"},{"text":"wood","id":"AAT11914"},{"text":"paper","id":"x30308"}],"techniques":[{"text":"resist dyeing","id":"AAT53053"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Stencilled resist-dyed silk, mounted on a wooden framework, backed with handmade paper","categories":[{"text":"Textiles","id":"THES48885"},{"text":"Furniture","id":"THES48948"}],"styles":[{"text":"Showa","id":"AAT18568"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"EAS","id":"THES48596"},"images":["2015HM9785","2015HM9779","2015HM9771","2015HM9774","2006AR9908","2006AJ6947","2006AJ6948","2006AJ6946"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"TR011","id":"THES394657"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Screen","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Japan","id":"x29399"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"ca. 1940","earliest":"1938-01-01","latest":"1940-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"170.0","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"183.0","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":"open"}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"Serizawa presented this screen to Sir John Pilcher (1912-1990) when Pilcher was serving as British Ambassador to Japan (1967-1972).
