Description
These decorative picture scrolls are beautifully crafted with unmatched colors and depth. This "Genji Monogatari Emaki" or "The Tale of Genji" is a famous illustrated hand scroll based on the 12 century Japanese literature classic of the same name. The remaining original works are now divided among Japanese museums and only displayed for short amounts of time to preserve them as best as possible. Japanese and English commentary is included in the scroll.
