Shōrin-zu byōbu is a pair of six-panel folding screens (byōbu) by the Japanese artist Hasegawa Tōhaku, the founder of the Hasegawa school. The ink-on-paper work dates from the late 16th century and depicts a view of Japanese pine trees in the mist, with parts of the trees visible and other parts obscured. The screens are held by the Tokyo National Museum, and were designated as a National Treasure of Japan in 1952.

Pronounciation guide?

Would someone who has more understanding in Japanese add a pronounciation guide for readers and editors (who do can't read all the accents and are afraid to butcher the name)? _TheKuygerian^contribs

Like an IPA pronunciation? I think we could probably get that - though I don't understand it myself, I think it pronounces it when you click on it. (Protip: this is what language tags do for users with screenreaders! Have a look at {{lang}} and {{transl}} if you have the time, and incorporate them into your editing where you can. Thank you!) -- Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) 21:06, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
