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

"The Aoi Chapter from "The Tale of Genji" (Genji Aoi)" is a woodblock print by Okumura Masanobu from around 1710. It is part of a series of prints based on "The Tale of Genji", a classic Japanese novel. The print depicts three figures: a woman in a patterned robe, a man in a plaid robe, and another woman with her back turned to the viewer. The scene is set in a domestic setting, with a partially visible lattice window in the background. This print exemplifies the humor and satire that Masanobu used to reinterpret classic literary tales, making it a valuable source for studying Japanese art and culture.
