Not to be confused with byōbu, traditional Japanese folding screens.
A tsuitate (衝立) is a form of single-panel portable partition traditionally used in Japan since at least the 6th century.[1] They may be made of wood, or a wood frame covered in paper or silk cloth.[1][2] The panels are often illustrated, with paintings on both sides, sometimes by well-known artists.[1] The wood frame may be lacquered,[1][3] and pricier tsuitate may be very richly decorated, including use of precious metals.[3]
Apart from their use as works of art, they are often used to screen entrances, and block wind and sun[2] They may also partition rooms, divide the public part of a shop from the residential area behind, and act as a signboard.[1]
