EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Ukiyo-e woodblock print from the Tale of Genji, created by renowned artists Kunisada and Hiroshige in 1853. The left panel of this triptych series titled "A modern version of the Tale of Genji in snow scenes" beautifully captures a female figure during the Edo period. Dressed in an exquisite kimono, she leans gracefully against a wooden post, exuding elegance and fashion-forwardness. Her robe drapes delicately around her, emphasizing her poise and sophistication. Against the backdrop of a snowy countryside, she stands as a solitary figure amidst the serene winter landscape. The collaboration between Kunisada and Hiroshige brings together their exceptional talent to create this masterpiece that transports us into the world of Japanese culture and literature. The Tale of Genji is one of Japan's most celebrated literary works, and this woodblock print pays homage to its timeless allure. With meticulous attention to detail and vibrant colors achieved through color woodblock printing techniques, this artwork captivates viewers with its beauty and intricacy. It invites us to immerse ourselves in the enchanting atmosphere depicted on paper. Preserved within private collections today, this Ukiyo-e print continues to inspire awe for its artistic mastery while providing glimpses into Japan's rich history and traditions. As we admire it now through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded once again why these prints hold such significance in both art history and cultural heritage
