Large Painting of a Japanese Scene After the Tale of Genji
About the Item
This painting is an illustration of the classic Japanese novel, "The Tale of Genji," written by Murasaki Shikibu. It captures the aristocratic atmosphere of the novel set in Kyoto, the capital of Japan during that time. The painting depicts the hero, Genji, and his lady's involvement in his grand mansion, conveying the themes of wealth, rank, and love. Additionally, it shows a court lady looking at pictures while one maid reads and the other dresses her ladies' hair. The artist used a combination of ink and gold colors to create a rich visual experience.
The style suggests a female artist, and the lithograph represents a National Treasure-designated "Illustrated Tale of Genji" which is the oldest existing pictorial version of this novel, dating back to the first half of the 12th century.
