Description
English: Accession Number: 1965.77.c

Display Artist: Utagawa Toyokuni Display Title: Heartvine (Aoi): The clash of carriages at the Kamo Festival Translation(s): Aoi Series Title: Genji Suite Name: Genji Creation Date: 1795-1800 Medium: Woodblock Height: 9 1/8 in. Width: 6 7/8 in. Display Dimensions: 9 1/8 in. x 6 7/8 in. (23.18 cm x 17.46 cm) Publisher: Izumiya Ichibei Credit Line: Gift of Elsie S. Kimberly Label Copy: "In this page from a rare series made early in Toyokunis career, carriage footmen vie to win the best spot to watch the Kamo River Festival. In the meantime, Prince Genji has entered Lady Murasakis room to watch the festivities with her. The poem he composed for her is inscribed on the print. Genji-e refers to the subset of prints that depict scenes of the original Tale of Genji, and they are all old-fashioned in style: cloud motifs fill space, and figures wear clothes of the eleventh-century Heian period. Thanks to these visual clues, these prints can be distinguished from those of Inaka Genji, which portray the characters in contemporary fashions." Label Copy (Spanish): "En esta pgina de la singular serie realizada a principios de la carrera de Toyokuni, los lacayos de la carroza compiten por encontrar el mejor lugar para mirar el festival del ro Kamo. Mientras tanto, el Prncipe Genji ha entrado a la habitacin de la Seora Murasaki para ver las festividades con ella. El poema que le compuso est inscrito en la estampa. Genji-e se refiere al subconjunto de impresiones que representan escenas de la Historia de Genji original y todas son de estilo antiguo: los motivos de nubes llenan los espacios y las figuras llevan ropa del perodo Heian del siglo XI. Gracias a estas pistas visuales, estas impresiones pueden distinguirse de las de Inaka Genji, que muestran a los personajes en modas contemporneas. "
