Tale of Genji, Chapter 32
From a series based on the Tale of Genji, a beautifully
detailed print with bokashi shading. The Genji mon assigned to different
chapters of the Tale relates to the Kodo Incense Game where participants try to
guess the combination of fragrances being used. Note in this interesting print
with a Genji mon (which actually should be for Chapter 36) there is a central
incense burner. Interesting metallic flakes adorn border.
