Painting Description
"Oban. Szene Aus Dem Genji Monogatari" is a woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Kunisada (1786–1865). Kunisada, also known as Utagawa Toyokuni III, was one of the most prolific and popular designers of ukiyo-e woodblock prints in the 19th century. His works primarily focused on kabuki actors, beautiful women (bijin-ga), and scenes from classical literature, including the celebrated "The Tale of Genji" (Genji Monogatari).
"The Tale of Genji," written by Murasaki Shikibu in the early 11th century, is often considered the world's first novel and a masterpiece of Japanese literature. It chronicles the life and loves of Hikaru Genji, a nobleman during the Heian period. Kunisada's print, "Oban. Szene Aus Dem Genji Monogatari," captures a specific scene from this literary classic, showcasing his exceptional ability to translate narrative into visual art.
Kunisada's interpretation of "The Tale of Genji" is notable for its vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and expressive characters. His prints often included elaborate backgrounds and detailed costumes, reflecting the opulence of the Heian court. Kunisada's work was highly appreciated for its dynamic composition and the emotional depth he brought to the characters, making the ancient tale accessible and engaging to the Edo period audience.
This particular print is an example of the oban format, a common size for ukiyo-e prints, measuring approximately 39 x 26 centimeters (15.4 x 10.2 inches). Kunisada's "Oban. Szene Aus Dem Genji Monogatari" not only serves as a visual representation of a pivotal moment in the story but also as a testament to the enduring legacy of both the artist and the literary work that inspired him. Through his skillful artistry, Kunisada contributed to the preservation and popularization of "The Tale of Genji," ensuring its continued influence in Japanese culture and beyond.
