Thank you for this wonderful video and history. What are the names of some places that still produce byobu?

@YoshiNishio 8 ай бұрын

Every city has local studios that make byobu screens. I would say at least one hundred of them. Please google to find them.

I read somewhere that the gold leaf was favored so it would reflect open flame light and better illuminate a room at night. Is this true?

Yes, that is right. Also malachite and azurite pigment glow in dark.

@@YoshiNishio I didn’t know about the blue pigments phosphorescence. I am looking into getting a newly made inlaid gold byōbu with blue irises as the theme. I’ll ask what pigments they use. Thanks!
