"The Left Sheet of a Diptych Parodying the Yugao Chapter from The Tale of Genji" is a notable ukiyo-e print created by the Japanese artist Suzuki Harunobu, who was active during the Edo period. This print, dating from the 18th century, is one half of a diptych that presents a contemporary interpretation of a classic scene from one of Japan's most celebrated literary works, "The Tale of Genji," written by Murasaki Shikibu in the early 11th century. The Yugao chapter, which is the subject of Harunobu's parody, is one of the more famous episodes from the tale, named after the character Yugao, a lover of the protagonist, Prince Genji.

Harunobu was renowned for his delicate and graceful prints, and he is credited with pioneering the full-color print, or nishiki-e, which allowed for a greater range of color and intricacy in ukiyo-e art. In this particular diptych, Harunobu showcases his skill in capturing the elegance and subtlety of Heian-era aesthetics while infusing it with the vibrant life of Edo-period culture. The left sheet of the diptych typically features figures in a setting that evokes the original Genji narrative, but with an anachronistic twist that reflects the customs and fashions of Harunobu's own time.

The print is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural commentary, as it bridges the classical literature of Japan with the popular and accessible art form of ukiyo-e, which depicted the "floating world" of fleeting pleasures and contemporary urban life. Harunobu's work often included depictions of beautiful women, kabuki actors, and scenes from everyday life, and his parody of the Yugao chapter is a prime example of how he integrated traditional themes with modern sensibilities.

The Left Sheet of a Diptych Parodying the Yugao Chapter from The Tale of Genji is an important work in the oeuvre of Suzuki Harunobu and serves as a testament to the enduring influence of The Tale of Genji in Japanese art and culture. It remains a subject of interest for scholars of ukiyo-e and Japanese literature, as well as for collectors and enthusiasts of Japanese woodblock prints.
