EDITORS COMMENTS
"Tawaraya Sotatsu's Carriage of Prince Genji is an exquisite illustration taken from the renowned Japanese book, Genji Monogatari Emaki (The Tale of Genji), authored by Murasaki Shikibu during the Momoyama period (1573-1603) in Japan. This painting, a masterpiece of the 17th century, showcases a vertical, upright scene filled with vibrant colors and intricate details. Prince Genji, a central figure in the tale, is depicted here riding in a carriage, accompanied by a retinue of men in elegant kimonos. The carriage is adorned with intricate patterns and designs, reflecting the opulence and grandeur of the Japanese court during the Momoyama period. The scene is set amidst a lush forest, with trees in full bloom, their branches reaching out towards the sky. The painting is a testament to the rich cultural traditions of Japan during the Momoyama period, a time of artistic innovation and creativity. The use of color and the depiction of the scene in an upright, vertical format are characteristic of the genre of emaki (picture scrolls), which were popular during this period. The painting's intricate details and vibrant colors continue to captivate audiences, making it a valuable addition to any collection of Japanese art." This painting is a beautiful example of the folk traditions and folklore that were prevalent during the Momoyama period in Japan. The carriage of Prince Genji is not only a symbol of his status and power but also a representation of the rich cultural heritage of Japan during this time. The painting's intricate details, vibrant colors, and depiction of the scene in an upright, vertical format make it a valuable addition to any collection of Japanese art. The painting's origins are in the private collection of an individual, and it is not associated with any commercial use or companies. The painting's rich history and cultural significance make it a valuable and treasured piece of Japanese art.
