This exquisite triptych captures the essence of spring, depicting Prince Genji and a gathering of ladies beside a lake, set against a backdrop of blooming cherry blossoms. Kunisada (1786–1865), a leading figure in the Utagawa school, is celebrated for his vivid portrayals of kabuki actors, beautiful women, and scenes from literature. His artistry shines in the dynamic compositions and rich detailing that bring Edo's cultural splendor to life. This particular print showcases Kunisada's mastery in capturing the elegance and liveliness of the Heian-era court life, inspired by “The Tale of Genji”. This artwork is an homage to Kunisada's earlier illustration of Ryutei Tanehiko's “Rustic Genji”. This historical piece is a testament to the enduring allure of traditional Japanese art. The print shows signs of aging, including wear, stains, holes, and repairs, all of which speak to its authenticity and journey through time. For admirers of classic ukiyo-e and Japanese cultural heritage, this triptych offers a glimpse into a bygone era of elegance and celebration.
