Color woodblock on paper. After an artwork from the 1892 series The Fifty-four Chapters of the Tale of Genji by Ogata Gekko, 1859 to 1920, a Japanese ukiyo-e artist. The Tale of Genji, or Genji Monogatari, is a classic work of Japanese literature written by the noblewoman, poet, and lady-in-waiting Murasaki Shikibu around the peak of the Heian period, in the early 11th century. The work is a unique depiction of the lifestyles of high courtiers during the Heian period. This lot is an illustration for the chapter 17, Comparison of Paintings. The young emperor loves painting, and an exhibition of paintings from the collections of various nobles is organized at the court. It remains to be decided whose paintings are better. And behind this artistic rivalry lies something completely different, a competition between potential concubines of the sovereign. Matted and framed.
