Tosa Mitsunobu's "New Wisteria Leaves (Fuji no Uraba), Illustration to Chapter 33 of the Tale of Genji (Genji monogatari)" is a notable work of Japanese art that exemplifies the Tosa school's style during the Muromachi period. Mitsunobu, a prominent painter and the founder of the Tosa school, was known for his detailed and delicate approach to narrative scenes, often drawing inspiration from classical Japanese literature.

This particular illustration is part of a series depicting scenes from "The Tale of Genji," a classic work of Japanese literature written by Murasaki Shikibu in the early 11th century. Chapter 33, titled "New Wisteria Leaves," is one of the many chapters that explore the life and romantic escapades of the protagonist, Hikaru Genji. Mitsunobu's work captures the essence of the Heian period's courtly life, with an emphasis on the aesthetic and emotional subtleties that characterize the narrative.

The painting is executed on a handscroll, a traditional format that allows for a continuous narrative to unfold as the scroll is unrolled. Mitsunobu's use of color, line, and composition reflects the refined tastes of the aristocratic class for whom such works were originally intended. The delicate depiction of figures, architecture, and nature in the painting showcases the artist's mastery of the Yamato-e style, characterized by its attention to detail and vibrant use of color.

Mitsunobu's illustration not only serves as a visual accompaniment to the literary text but also provides insight into the cultural and artistic values of the time. The work is a testament to the enduring legacy of "The Tale of Genji" and its influence on Japanese art and culture. Today, such illustrations are highly valued for their historical significance and artistic merit, offering a window into the world of classical Japanese literature and the sophisticated aesthetic sensibilities of the Heian court.
