組解説:Scene from the Genji monogatarie following the version of Ryūtei Tanehiko (1783–1842), who completely rewrote The Tale of Genji as a gōkan (popular literature published in bound volumes) in thirty-eight chapters. The protagonist is Mitsuuji and live in the 15th century, and his love affairs take place in the licensed quarters. Much of the stimulus for late Edo Genji pictures (Genji-e) was due to Ryūtei Tanehiko and his book, the first Japanese book to sell over ten thousand copies.
