A masterwork from Utagawa Kunisada II's celebrated Lady Murasaki's Genji Cards series, this 1857 woodblock print captures Chapter 39, "Evening Mist," with remarkable atmospheric depth.
The composition depicts a richly robed figure aboard a pleasure boat, gazing across moonlit waters—a scene drawn from Murasaki Shikibu's 11th-century classic.
Kunisada employs the hallmark ukiyo-e technique of bold contours and luminous color fields, enhanced by imported Prussian blue that renders the nocturnal water with poetic tranquility.
Gold-flecked margins frame the composition, evoking the refined aesthetics of the Heian court.
Distant vessels and white waterfowl complete this evocative nocturnal tableau. 38cm × 25.5cm.
