Painting Description
The "Leporello-album Mit 44 Oban Aus Der Serie Sono Sugata Hikari Utsushi-e" is a notable work by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Kunisada (1786-1865). This album, which translates to "Leporello Album with 44 Oban from the Series 'Reflections of the True Forms of Beauties'," is a collection of 44 prints, including a title page and 43 individual sheets. Each sheet depicts various chapters and scenes from the classic Japanese literary work "Genji Monogatari" (The Tale of Genji), authored by Murasaki Shikibu in the early 11th century.
Kunisada, also known by his later name Utagawa Toyokuni III, was one of the most prolific and popular ukiyo-e artists of his time. His works are celebrated for their vibrant colors, intricate details, and the ability to capture the elegance and beauty of his subjects. In this particular album, Kunisada brings to life the world of Prince Genji, the protagonist of "Genji Monogatari," along with his lovers, relatives, and companions, through a series of meticulously crafted scenes.
The album is structured in a leporello format, which means it is a concertina-style book where the pages are folded in a zigzag manner, allowing for a continuous and seamless viewing experience. Each oban (a standard size for ukiyo-e prints) in the album showcases Kunisada's mastery in portraying the subtleties of human emotion and the complexities of court life during the Heian period (794-1185).
"Genji Monogatari" is often regarded as the world's first novel and is a cornerstone of Japanese literature. Kunisada's visual interpretation of this literary masterpiece not only pays homage to the original text but also offers a unique perspective through the lens of Edo-period aesthetics. The scenes depicted in the album range from intimate moments between Prince Genji and his lovers to grandiose depictions of courtly events, each rendered with Kunisada's characteristic flair for drama and beauty.
This album is a testament to Kunisada's skill as an artist and his deep appreciation for classical Japanese literature. It serves as an important cultural artifact, bridging the literary and visual arts, and continues to be a subject of study and admiration for scholars and art enthusiasts alike.
