EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Genji Waka Murasaki" from the series of Genji parodies by Okumura Masanobu, dates back to the early 18th century. The image showcases a scene from The Tale of Genji, a renowned Japanese novel written by Murasaki Shikibu in the 11th century. Masanobu masterfully captures the essence of the story through this intricate woodblock print. Four figures are depicted in the scene, two men and two women, all dressed in traditional Japanese attire. The central figure, Genji, is shown in a contemplative posture, holding a musical instrument, a samisen, while a lady in waiting, Murasaki, sits at his side, also holding a musical instrument. The other two figures, possibly Genji's friends or courtiers, are shown in a similar pose, kneeling and playing their shamisen. The print is a stunning example of the artistic school of Oban Sumizuri-e, which was popular during the Edo period. The print, with its intricate details and bold lines, showcases the skill and artistry of Okumura Masanobu. The clothing and accessories of the figures are depicted with great attention to detail, providing a glimpse into the fashion and culture of the time. The print is a testament to the enduring legacy of The Tale of Genji and the impact it had on Japanese literature and art. The parody series by Masanobu highlights the continued fascination with the story and its characters, making it an invaluable addition to the artistic and literary heritage of Japan.
