Scenes from the Tale of Genji

There screens ware originally fusuma (sliding doors) painting of the Prince Hachijo family when it was first established. In the six-fold screens, scenes from Wakamurasaki are depicted on the left screen and scenes from Tokonatsu and others are depicted on the right screen. These motifs on the 3rd and 4th sheet are scenes that were originally distant connected successively here. The scene at the bottom part with woman only cannot be identified. They are considered to be by painters of Kano Eitoku's school, and can be assumed to have been used in a splendid "Genji room". It was formerly owned by the Prince Katsura Family.(「Passing Art works to the Future」2013)
