Scene from the Tales of Ise: “Mount Utsu” 1700 - 1733

"Scene from the Tales of Ise: “Mount Utsu”" is a painting by the Japanese artist Fukae Roshū (1699–1757) and was created between 1700 and 1733. The painting depicts a scene from the classic Japanese literary work, *The Tales of Ise*, and shows two figures, a man and a woman, set against a background of rolling hills and trees in a lush landscape. The painting is executed in a delicate style, using a variety of colors, including shades of green, brown, and blue, to create a sense of depth and realism, characteristic of *Ukiyo-e* paintings. The painting is now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
