Albums of scenes from The Tale of Genji 1600 - 1700

This is a page from an album of scenes from *The Tale of Genji*, an 11th century Japanese novel. The album, dated between 1600-1700, is attributed to Tosa Mitsunori (1583-1638), a highly acclaimed artist of the Tosa School, known for their distinctive style of painting. The artist uses a subtle, delicate ink wash technique to depict scenes of courtly life, with emphasis on architectural details, figures, and landscapes. The album is a beautiful example of the Tosa School's artistry and its enduring influence on Japanese art.
