About the print
A moonlit early-summer evening on a veranda overlooking a dark garden pond. Two women are absorbed in a game of go while a companion brings sake and cups; in the centre sheet, another elegant figure adjusts a candle-lit lantern beside a young attendant in red. On the right sheet, a strikingly dressed young lord — instantly recognisable by his distinctive ebi-chasen topknot as Mitsuuji, the "Rustic Genji" hero of Ryūtei Tanehiko's phenomenally popular novel Nise Murasaki Inaka Genji — pauses at the doorway with a fan, a kneeling samurai attendant at his side, quietly observing the scene within. The composition is an elegant nod to one of the most famous episodes of the Tale of Genji: the "Utsusemi" chapter, in which Genji secretly watches two ladies at their go board on a summer night.
The seasonal signals of Uzuki, the fourth lunar month and the traditional first month of summer, are woven throughout: a hototogisu (lesser cuckoo) — whose first call was the awaited herald of the season — flies across the night sky of the left sheet, beneath a hanging votive charm of the kind suspended under the eaves for the festivals of the eighth day of the fourth month.

About the Series
Annual Events for Young Murasaki belongs to the great wave of Genji-e that followed the success of Nise Murasaki Inaka Genji, for which Kunisada himself had drawn the original illustrations. Each triptych in the series pairs a month of the traditional calendar with its customs and pleasures, staged around the Genji hero in contemporary Edo dress and sumptuous interiors. Impressions from the series are held in major institutional collections, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. An appealing feature of the series — present on this set — is Kunisada's use of a different art-name (gō) on each of the three sheets, reflecting the years immediately following his succession to the name Toyokuni. Other triptychs from this same series sold for 600$ on international market.
