Genji Hyakunin Isshu Nishiki-ori. Brocards Du Genji Et Des 100 Poetes by Kitao Shigemasa is a notable work that intertwines the classical Japanese literary tradition with the visual arts. Created by the esteemed Edo period artist Kitao Shigemasa, this work is a unique amalgamation of two significant cultural elements: "The Tale of Genji" (Genji Monogatari) and the "Hyakunin Isshu" (One Hundred Poets, One Poem Each).

"The Tale of Genji," written by Murasaki Shikibu in the early 11th century, is often considered the world's first novel and a pinnacle of Japanese literature. It chronicles the life and loves of Hikaru Genji, a nobleman, and provides a rich tapestry of courtly life during the Heian period. The "Hyakunin Isshu," on the other hand, is an anthology of one hundred waka poems by one hundred different poets, compiled by Fujiwara no Teika in the early 13th century. This anthology has been highly influential in Japanese culture, often memorized and recited in various literary and educational contexts.

Kitao Shigemasa, an accomplished ukiyo-e artist and illustrator, brought these two literary treasures together in his work. Ukiyo-e, which translates to "pictures of the floating world," is a genre of Japanese art that flourished from the 17th through the 19th centuries, known for its woodblock prints and paintings depicting scenes from history, folklore, kabuki theater, and the pleasure districts of Edo (modern-day Tokyo).

In Genji Hyakunin Isshu Nishiki-ori, Shigemasa's artistry captures the essence of both "The Tale of Genji" and the "Hyakunin Isshu" through intricate illustrations and calligraphy. Each piece in the collection is a visual representation that complements the poetic and narrative elements of the original texts. Shigemasa's work not only serves as a homage to these literary classics but also as a testament to the enduring cultural heritage of Japan. His ability to blend literary and visual art forms highlights the interconnectedness of different artistic expressions in Japanese culture, making this work a significant contribution to the world of art and literature.
