Condition Report

A fine Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock print, depicting Prince Genji entertains two beauties disguised as Nuns under a tree in the rain, from the series Select Five Elements (Mitate go gyō, ?????). In this series of triptychs, Prince Genji is seen with beautiful women is various stings. The series is listed as number 139 in Kuniyoshi by Basil William Robinson (Victoria and Albert Museum, London, 1961). The individual sheets of these triptychs are each about 14 by 10 inches (36 by 25 centimeters), a size known as ōban. Chapter 49 is titled Yadorigi, which literally means “mistletoe”, but may also mean “sheltering”. Mistletoe is a woody plant, but the image is one of sheltering from the rain under a tree. Utagawa Kuniyoshi, the visionary of the fluctuating world, is considered one of the last great masters of the ukiyo-e.
One copy at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, accession number 11.28745-7.
