"Snow, Pine Tree Folding Screen" (雪松図屏風, Setsuzo Byobu) is a renowned pair of six-panel folding screens (byobu) by the Japanese artist Maruyama Ōkyo (1733–1795). This masterpiece of Japanese art exemplifies Ōkyo's innovative approach to painting, blending traditional Japanese techniques with Western realism, a style for which he became famous during the Edo period. The work depicts a serene and evocative winter landscape, with meticulously detailed snow-laden pine trees standing against a stark, yet subtly gradated, background. The use of empty space and careful attention to naturalistic detail not only reflects the aesthetic principles of Japanese art but also showcases Ōkyo's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects.

The "Snow, Pine Tree Folding Screen" is considered a significant contribution to the nanga (literati painting) school, although Ōkyo himself was known for stepping beyond the confines of any single school or tradition. The screen painting is often noted for its atmospheric perspective and the use of light and shadow, which were influenced by Ōkyo's study of Western painting techniques. The folding screen format allowed the artwork to function both as a practical piece of furniture and as a movable canvas that could bring the beauty of nature indoors, in accordance with the Japanese tradition of integrating art with daily living.

Created in the late 18th century, this work is a testament to Ōkyo's legacy as a pivotal figure in the development of Japanese painting. The "Snow, Pine Tree Folding Screen" is not only admired for its artistic excellence but also valued for its historical significance, representing a period of cultural exchange and the evolution of Japanese art. Today, the screens are highly prized as national treasures and are held in the collections of major museums, where they continue to be studied and appreciated for their beauty and craftsmanship.
