The Typhoon (Nowaki), Illustration to Chapter 28 of the Tale of Genji (Genji monogatari) by Tosa Mitsunobu, is a notable work of Japanese art that exemplifies the intricate and refined style of the Tosa school. Tosa Mitsunobu, a prominent painter of the late 15th and early 16th centuries, was known for his contributions to the Yamato-e style, which focused on traditional Japanese themes and aesthetics.

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. The Tale of Genji is often considered the world's first novel and provides a detailed depiction of court life during the Heian period. Chapter 28, titled "Nowaki" or "The Typhoon," is one of the many chapters that explore the complex relationships and emotional experiences of the protagonist, Hikaru Genji.

In this illustration, Tosa Mitsunobu captures the essence of the narrative with delicate brushwork and a keen attention to detail. The composition typically features elegant figures dressed in Heian-period attire, set against a backdrop that reflects the natural and architectural elements of the time. The use of color and line work in the painting exemplifies the Tosa school's emphasis on clarity and elegance, making it a quintessential example of Japanese narrative art.

The artwork not only serves as a visual representation of the literary text but also provides insight into the cultural and artistic values of the period. Through Mitsunobu's interpretation, viewers can appreciate the harmonious blend of literature and visual art that characterizes much of Japanese cultural heritage. This illustration remains an important piece for both art historians and enthusiasts of Japanese literature, offering a window into the world of "The Tale of Genji" and the artistic traditions of the time.
