Heartvine" ("Aoi") chapter from The Tale of Genji (Genji monogatari)"

"Heartvine" ("Aoi") chapter from The Tale of Genji (Genji monogatari). Culture: Japan. Dimensions: Image: 4 3/4 in. × 18 ft. 9 3/16 in. (12 × 572 cm) Overall with knobs: 5 in. × 18 ft. 9 3/16 in. (12.7 × 572 cm). Date: 16th century. This scroll, with its engagingly childlike rendition of scenes from the ninth chapter of The Tale of Genji, is an example of a ko-e ("small pictures") handscroll, a format popular among amateur painters, including court ladies, during the Muromachi period. Scenes executed in a simplified version of the classic hakubyo (white drawing) method of monochrome painting alternate with sections of text. The compositional device known as fukinuki-yatai, or "blown-away roof," permits viewers to peer into several rooms of Prince Genji's residence at once. Genji's wife Aoi has just given birth to his son Yugiri, but she dies shortly thereafter, a victim of the jealous spirit of Genji's former lover, the Rokujo lady.
