On view Rotation 1, August 17\u2013November 3, 2013These two screens were originally sliding panels, most likely part of a larger set that enclosed a room. The left screen illustrates Chapter 16, "The Gatehouse" (Sekiya) when Genji unexpectedly encounters Utsusemi long after they have ended an illicit and ephemeral affair.The right screen illustrates two chapters. The first scene is from Chapter 29, "The Royal Outing" (Miyuki). In the flurries of snow, princes and high courtiers are approaching in procession while falconers and huntsmen rush to hunt. The other scene, at the lower left is from Chapter 51, "A Boat upon the Waters" (Ukifune). In the heavy night snowfall, Prince Niou, Genji's grandson abducts the young princess Ukifune. These three scenes seem to have been selected by the artist because they are set outdoors and could be connected in the composition by the landscape and time of year. An inscription on the far left-hand panel attributes the work to Tosa Mitsuyoshi, primarily known for his delicate album leaf paintings on classical themes. The inscription also identifies the panel as a replacement painted by Mitsuyoshi's grandson, Tosa Mitsuoki (1617\u20131691).Free picture Scenes from the Tale of Genji: \ integrated with the OffiDocs web apps
