Murasaki and Genji Viewing the Snow - Utagawa Kunisada Art Print
Couldn't load pickup availability
A Heian prince stops in new snow, and winter holds still for him. In Murasaki and Genji Viewing the Snow, Utagawa Kunisada, signing as Toyokuni III, raises a paper parasol over his hero until its white disk hangs like a second moon. Snow-laden bamboo bends above, leaves flecked teal and ink-black.
Persimmon silk crawls with gold bamboo stalks and pale crests, then sinks at the hem into Prussian blue, the imported pigment Edo period printmakers chased like treasure. A checkered obi grips a gilt-hilted sword. White trousers spill across the ground, a stream caught mid-freeze. Carver Yokogawa Horitake keeps each fold sharp enough to crack.
His kabuki-bright face turns left, toward Lady Murasaki past the paper's edge. A snow-capped lantern pierced with boar's-eye windows stands by a brushwood fence. Beyond, pines dissolve into bokashi gray above a sliver of indigo river. This Japanese woodblock print folds The Tale of Genji into ukiyo-e theater, a Genji-e courtship balanced on black geta, one clog lifted over the cold.
