Posted By: Stan Tue, Oct 06, 2020 I believe your Japanese print is by Kuniyasu (1794 - 1832) and is from his series Genji uta awase - Genji Poetry Contest and dates to circa 1820. We'll have to wait for I. Nagy to provide full details. |

Posted By: Stan Wed, Oct 07, 2020 The Genji-mon in the fan-shaped cartouche in the upper right corresponds to Chapter 4 (Yƻgao (Evening Faces)) from Murasaki Shikibu's "The Tale of Genji". The series appears to be of famous geishas. I don't know if there is a geisha corresponding to all 54 chapters. |
