Comment – Correction below per Janke and Bamse. there are stitching or scan jumps where the panels meet, visible at full size, for instance on the top image labeled "Original – Left panel" the jumps are at (x,y)=(2855,855), (2855,2375), (2855,3900), (2855,5425), (2855,6955) pixels relative to top left corner. Similar jumps where the other panels meet. Also an artifact at (x,y)=(5600,25). The bottom image has similar artifacts. Not sure if this is a dis-qualifier though.

Are you sure they are stitching artifacts? They don't look like that, rather like cuts & folds in the canvas keeping the parts together when zig-zag-folded. --Janke | Talk 07:10, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I also suspect that these are due to the folding mechanism rather than stitching artifacts. A few points to support this:

(i) they only appear at every second connection (i.e. between the 1st and 2nd, between the 3rd and 4th and between the 5th and 6th panels), which makes sense if you consider that the screens are zig-zag folded
(ii) if they were stitching errors, why would they appear at such particular spots?
(iii) what you call "artifacts" looks a lot like the connection in this image (though I don't know if this screen actually uses such hinge)
(iv) in any case, whatever they are, they don't affect the artwork at all bamse (talk) 13:46, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Thanks for fixing my bad. At full size (100%) the spots looked abnormal. But now zooming in at 200% they look like an integral part of the canvas/artwork. Bammesk (talk) 02:32, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support – inline citations in article Shōrin-zu byōbu would be nice. Bammesk (talk) 03:44, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support – Fulfils criteria. --Janke | Talk 05:27, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Very nice scan but I am concerned the main article will be deleted as it has no inline citations whatsoever, which would then reduce the EV. Mattximus (talk) 15:37, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
