The Kiritsubo Chapter from "The Tale of Genji" (Genji Kiritsubo), from a series of Genji parodies c. 1710

Okumura Masanobu's "The Kiritsubo Chapter from 'The Tale of Genji' (Genji Kiritsubo)," created around 1710, is a woodblock print that satirizes the classic Japanese novel *The Tale of Genji*. The print depicts a scene from the novel's first chapter, "Kiritsubo," featuring a man reclining on a cushion while two women, likely representing Genji's mother and the woman who raises him, stand nearby. The artist's use of detailed linework and meticulous patterns are characteristic of his *ukiyo-e* style. This work is part of a series of *Genji* parodies by Masanobu, showcasing his humor and wit.
