Azuchi Screens

The Azuchi Screens were a pair of six-panel Japanese folding screens, one depicting Azuchi Castle and the other its surrounding town. The warlord Oda Nobunaga gave them to the Jesuit missionary Alessandro Valignano, who had them carried to Rome with the Tensho embassy and presented to Pope Gregory the Thirteenth, after which they were displayed and admired in the Vatican collections. The screens later vanished from the historical record and are considered lost today, though they are remembered as seminal works in the development of Japanese folding-screen painting.
