拍品專文

The scene illustrated is from the fourth chapter of the Tale of Genji () titled Yugao: The Twilight Beauty. Dressed in court robes and a courtier’s hat (), Prince Genji approaches through the wicker gate of the lady Yugao’s residence. Genji remarks on the worn and dilapidated state of her home, noting a gourd vine () clambering up the brushwood fence. The drama of the chapter begins when the mysterious lady Yugao sends Genji a fan to accompany some flowers she sees him picking outside her gate. The fan is perfumed and inscribed with a poem mentioning the flowers from the title. The prince composes a reply matching the design on the :

‘Let me then draw near and see whether you are she, whom glimmering dusk
Gave me faintly to discern in twilight beauty flowers”

1. Royall Tyler (trans.), (London, 2001), p. 57.
