Gregg Baker Asian Art carries one of the largest collections of Japanese screens in Europe, Buddhist

Established in Mayfair in 1985, and on Kensington Church Street, London, the gallery is now located in Brussels, Belgium. The gallery focuses on antique Japanese paper screens with the largest stock in Europe. Our works of art range from metalwork, in the form of flower vessels and sculpture, to lacquer ware, cloisonné, scrolls, scholar's objects and Buddhist sculpture not only from Japan but also

selected works from China and Korea. We have been a strong supporter of Asian Art in London since its inception in 1997, holding a themed exhibition in the autumn of each year. In an effort to raise awareness of Japanese art, we give gallery talks to clients and to students from both SOAS and the British Museum which is always a great pleasure. We have been instrumental in advising and building collections for clients and supplying additions to the collections of museums in Great Britain, the Netherlands and the U.S.A.

Look up! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a Tennyo!

Tennyo, also called hiten, are the heavenly maidens / celestial beings often depicted in Buddhist art. They are believed to reside in and fly over the pure lands and praise Buddha by playing musical instruments, scattering flowers and burning incense. They are usually depicted as elegant, beautiful figures on temple ceilings and walls near the Buddha image.

Among our prestigious museum acquisitions, here is a fascinating detail from a pair of six-fold paper screens painted in ink and colour on a gold ground, featuring byōbu no byōbu—the delightful motif of screens depicted within screens—sold to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

On the far left of the left-hand screen appear two smaller two-fold screens: one decorated with bamboo, the other depicting carp swimming among reeds. Such subtle details reward close looking and reveal the remarkable sophistication and visual playfulness of Japanese screen painting.

Another remarkable acquisition for a major museum collection: a set of four fusuma (sliding doors) sold to the Louvre Abu Dhabi.

This detail depicting elegant tanchō-zuru (red-crowned cranes) and their young amidst bamboo and rocks in a tranquil river landscape, this monumental work exemplifies the refined aesthetic of the Kanō School.
