The Azuchi Screens (Japanese: 安土屏風) are a set of six-folding screens depicting Azuchi Castle and its nearby town. Oda Nobunaga gifted them to Pope Gregory XIII, who displayed them in the Vatican collections, where they were admired by visitors. However, they disappeared from historical record. Their fate is unknown and they are considered to be lost. The screens must have been pivotal works in the development of Japanese folding screens.[1]
Variations on the name are Azuchiyama screens or Azuchi Castle screens (Japanese: 安土城屏風).[2]
