"Scenes from the Tale of Genji" by Tosa Mitsuzane is a notable work of Japanese art that illustrates moments from the classic 11th-century Japanese literary work, "The Tale of Genji" (Genji Monogatari), written by Murasaki Shikibu. Tosa Mitsuzane (active 1348–1369), a member of the esteemed Tosa school of painting, is recognized for his contributions to the yamato-e style, which focuses on Japanese subject matter and is characterized by its narrative and decorative qualities.

The Tosa school, founded by Tosa Mitsunobu in the Muromachi period (1336–1573), became the hereditary lineage of painters who specialized in the yamato-e style and served the imperial court. Tosa Mitsuzane, as a descendant in this lineage, played a significant role in the development and perpetuation of this artistic tradition. His work on "Scenes from the Tale of Genji" is a testament to the enduring cultural significance of the epic tale and the Tosa school's mastery in depicting courtly life and romantic adventures.

"Scenes from the Tale of Genji" by Tosa Mitsuzane typically features a series of handscrolls or folding screens that depict key episodes from the narrative. These scenes are rich in detail and color, often using gold leaf and other luxurious materials to highlight the opulence of the Heian period court life. The paintings are not only valuable for their artistic merit but also provide insight into the aesthetics, costumes, and architecture of the time.

The work of Tosa Mitsuzane is held in high regard for its historical and cultural importance, as well as its influence on the development of Japanese visual arts. "Scenes from the Tale of Genji" remains an exemplary piece of the Tosa school's legacy and continues to be studied and admired for its intricate beauty and narrative depth.
