This work consists of 54 paintings of scenes from The Tale of Genji (J., Genji monogatari). The chapters from The Paulownia Court (J., Kiritsubo) through The Oak Tree (J., Kashiwagi) bear the artist name Kyûyoku in ink on the back of paperboard, indicating that they were painted by Tosa Mitsuyoshi (1536-1616), while the chapters from The Flute (J., Yokobue) onward were made by an artist of the Tosa school known as Chôjirô. They all are masterpieces among the paintings of Genji monogatari from the Momoyama period (1573-1615). The texts were written out by such nobles as Emperor Goyôzei (1571-1617, r., 1586-1611).
