This Kano school artwork depicts classic court scenes from The Tale of Genji. Painted with rich mineral colours and scalloped gold leaf clouds, it features the blown off roof perspective. Originally a continuous folding screen, it is now presented as six separate individual panels for proper display due to historic wear.
