The "Birds and Flowers" six-panel folding screen from the Muromachi period is a notable example of Japanese screen painting, attributed to Shoei Kano (1519–1592), a member of the renowned Kano school of painting. This particular work is a fusuma-e (sliding door painting) that has been adapted into a byōbu (folding screen), a common practice in the conservation and repurposing of Japanese art. The screen dates back to the late Muromachi period (1336–1573), a time characterized by the flourishing of ink wash painting and the development of the Kano school, which would dominate Japanese painting for centuries.

The artwork features an assemblage of birds and flowers, a popular theme in Japanese art that symbolizes the beauty of nature and the changing seasons. The composition typically includes a variety of birds in different postures amidst blooming flowers and foliage, rendered with careful attention to detail and a deep appreciation for the natural world. The use of gold leaf in the background is a distinctive element that adds luminosity and depth to the scene, creating a contrast with the ink and pigments used for the flora and fauna.

Shoei Kano, believed to be the creator of this screen, was a prominent painter of the Kano school and the third son of Kano Motonobu, one of the school's most influential figures. The Kano school is known for its blend of Chinese-inspired ink painting techniques with native Japanese artistic traditions, and for serving as official painters to the shogunate and imperial court.

The "Birds and Flowers" screen is an important cultural artifact, reflecting the aesthetic values and artistic practices of the Muromachi period. It is not only a testament to the technical skill and artistic vision of Shoei Kano but also an embodiment of the era's sophisticated taste and the enduring legacy of the Kano school. As a historical piece, it offers insight into the cultural and artistic milieu of 16th-century Japan and continues to be celebrated for its beauty and craftsmanship.
