The right screen is famous the confirmatory work of Kano Eitoku ( 1543-90 ), a master of the Momoyama art world, identified by its colophon by Kano Tan' yu. There's no doubt that this is by Eitoku because of the impressive and valiant depiction of imposing tigers striding among rocks with strong brushwork in spite of simple composition. The left screen was painted to match the right by Kano Tsunenobu ( 1636-1713 ) afterward, and the two were passed down to the present as a pair.

Works by Kagawa Katsuhiro (1853-1917) commissioned by the Imperial Household Ministry as an ornament for the Ho-ō-no-ma (Phoenix Room) of the Meiji Palace, which took 3 years from 1903 to complete. The phoenixes are created by various parts in high relief combined together inlayed on to silver bodies, with gold and aokin (alloy of gold and silver) added to vary the color tones.
