Prized horses in stables may be the main theme of the pair of screens to which this screen belongs, but a lot of action is happening on the verandas. Here, people challenge one another at two different board games, go and shōgi. A lively atmosphere develops in the interplay of the dynamic horses and the strategic games.

The Life of Animals in Japanese Art

A horizontally long six-panel folding screen features a central band depicting one stall per panel, each containing a singular white, dark brown, or dappled horse. Below and in front of the central two stalls, people in white, green, or red robes sit on the ground around game tables. Dogs and stable hands mingle. In the upper half runs a band of dark brown, light brown, and yellow-brown. A gilded floral border frames the scene.
