EDITORS COMMENTS
An Elegant Genji in Snow," a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Kunisada, depicts the legendary figure Genji, also known as Hikaru Genji, from the 10th century Japanese classic "The Tale of Genji" (Genji Monogatari), amidst a serene winter landscape. The print, titled "Murasaki Viewing the Snow," dates back to the 1850s and showcases the exquisite beauty and elegance of the Genji era. Genji, dressed in a stunning blue and orange kimono, is depicted sitting in a carriage boot, or gototei, with a lady in waiting, or gepparo, holding a parasol to shield them from the snow. The Genji monogatari gajo, or Genji scroll, is visible in the background, symbolizing the literary heritage of the era. Genji's courtier attire, complete with a kinraisha hat, hikaru genza, and ichiyosai accessories, is meticulously detailed, showcasing the intricacies of Japanese fashion during the Edo period. The print's vibrant colors, particularly the contrast of the blue Genji kimono against the orange and white snow, add to its visual appeal. The print's title, "Murasaki Viewing the Snow," refers to Murasaki Shikibu, the author of "The Tale of Genji," who is known to have admired the beauty of the snow. This full-length, one-person woodblock print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the enduring appeal of its literature and art. The print is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences, offering a glimpse into the historic beauty and elegance of Japan's past.
