Namban Screen of Kano Naizen
It is post-period (maybe as late as 1610) but still a pretty cool screen. It appears to depict, among other things, Japanese Christians and what I think might be a Japanese church (I note the cross-like decorations and the people that appear to be crossing themselves, just inside the door). It is a replica, but still has lots of really amazing detail to it. This was from the Macau Maritime Museum.
