"Genji Kumo Ukiyo-e Awase" is a series of woodblock prints created by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi during the Edo period. Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797–1861) was one of the last great masters of the ukiyo-e genre of woodblock prints and paintings. His work is celebrated for its dynamic compositions, bold use of color, and intricate detailing, which have left a lasting impact on the world of Japanese art.

The series "Genji Kumo Ukiyo-e Awase" is inspired by the classical Japanese literature, particularly "The Tale of Genji" (Genji Monogatari), written by Murasaki Shikibu in the early 11th century. This literary masterpiece is often considered the world's first novel and has been a significant source of inspiration for various forms of Japanese art over the centuries. Kuniyoshi's series, however, takes a unique approach by blending elements of the original tale with the artist's imaginative interpretations and the popular culture of his time.

Each print in the series features scenes and characters from "The Tale of Genji," reimagined through Kuniyoshi's distinctive artistic lens. The prints are known for their vibrant colors, dramatic expressions, and the incorporation of supernatural elements, which were a hallmark of Kuniyoshi's style. The series not only pays homage to the classical text but also reflects the Edo period's fascination with ghost stories, folklore, and kabuki theater.

Kuniyoshi's "Genji Kumo Ukiyo-e Awase" stands out for its innovative fusion of traditional literary themes with the dynamic and often fantastical elements characteristic of ukiyo-e art. The series exemplifies Kuniyoshi's ability to reinterpret classical subjects in a manner that resonated with contemporary audiences, thereby bridging the gap between historical literature and modern visual culture. Today, these prints are highly valued by collectors and scholars for their artistic merit and their contribution to the enduring legacy of "The Tale of Genji" in Japanese art.
