Melissa McCormick provides a unique companion to Murasaki's tale that combines discussions of all fifty-four of its chapters with paintings and calligraphy from the Genji Album (1510) in the Harvard Art Museums, the oldest dated set of Genji illustrations known to exist. In this book, the album's colorful painting and calligraphy leaves are fully reproduced for the first time, followed by McCormick's insightful essays that analyze the Genji story and the album's unique combinations of word and image. This stunning compendium also includes English translations and Japanese transcriptions of the album's calligraphy, enabling a holistic experience of the work for readers today. In an introduction to the volume, McCormick tells the fascinating stories of the individuals who created the Genji Album in the sixteenth century, from the famous court painter who executed the paintings and the aristocrats who brushed the calligraphy to the work's warrior patrons and the poet-scholars who acted as their intermediaries. Beautifully illustrated, this book serves as an invaluable guide for readers interested in The Tale of Genji, Japanese literature, and the captivating visual world of Japan's most celebrated work of fiction. 600 00 $a Murasaki Shikibu, $d 978?- $t Genji monogatari $v Illustrations. 630 00 $a Tale of Genji album $v Illustrations. 600 10 $a Tosa, Mitsunobu, $d 1434?-1525. 600 17 $a Tosa, Mitsunobu, $d 1434?-1525. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00341370 630 07 $a Genji monogatari (Murasaki Shikibu) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01357316 650 0 $a Painting, Japanese $x Themes, motives. 650 0 $a Arts and society $z Japan $x History. 650 0 $a Japanese literature $y Heian period, 794-1185 $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a Arts and society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00817856 650 7 $a Japanese literature $x Heian period. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710986 650 7 $a Painting, Japanese $x Themes, motives. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01050945 651 7 $a Japan. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204082 648 7 $a 794-1185 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Illustrated works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423873 700 1 $a McCormick, Melissa, $d 1967- 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217015726.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20191115100506.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4A8CE860462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
