from Genji no utsushi-e<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

Waseda University Library is fortunate to have the Kuy\u014d Bunko collection of some 2,400 items related to The Tale of Genji<\/em>. As well as manuscripts and early printed editions, the Kuy\u014d Bunko also contains a great many items based on Nise Murasaki inaka Genji<\/em> (A Fraudulent Murasaki\u2019s Bumpkin Genji, in Michael Emmerich\u2019s translation), the nineteenth-century adaptation of Genji<\/em> by Ry\u016btei Tanehiko (1783-1842): works of art, playing cards, board games (sugoroku<\/em>), and the like.<\/p>\n

In this exhibition, for the first time we present all 70 sets of full-color \u201cbrocade pictures\u201d (nishiki-e<\/em>) that make up the Genji no utsushi-e<\/em> albums in the Kuy\u014d Bunko. Based on Nise Murasaki inaka Genji<\/em>, each set consists of three paintings, and the whole is bound into two folding albums. We hope that you will enjoy the sumptuous colors that extend right to the edges of the paper. *Genji no utsushi-e <\/em>exhibition schedule is available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
