A gold ground furosaki paper screen , Edo period, 18th century A gold ground furosaki paper screen , Edo period, 18th century, with shikishi (applied paper with calligraphy or paintings) showing scenes from The Tale of Genji and poems from Hyakunin Isshu (100 Waka Poems by 100 Famous Poets of Antiquity), 67cm high and 176cm wide The bottom right with Chapter 50 The Eastern Cottage, 'Leaving Ukifune to the place of Nakanokimi, the mother, Chujounokimi, went back to the house of the governor. Then Niou accidentally passed the room and found her there. She was very pretty indeed. He caught her hands, which were holding a fan. He approached her asking, "What is your name?" Ukifune was horrified and wondered whether this man might be Kaoru who was looking for her. Nothing further happened, but it was an unforgettable encounter for Niou' The top right with chapter 29, The Royal Outing, 'In the Twelfth Month there was a royal outing to Oharano. All the ministers and councillors and whole court had turned out for the occasion. The princes and high officials were beautifully fitted out. Their guards and grooms, very good-looking, had put on special dresses. The princes and high courtiers in charge of falcons were in fine hunting dress. The falconers from the royal guards were even more interesting, all in printed robes of most fanciful design. Even the skies seemed intent on favouring the occasion, for there were flurries of snow. The procession left the palace at six in the morning and proceeded south along Suzaku Avenue and west on Gojo. Carriages of viewers lined the streets all the way to the river Katsura. The princes of Rokujo and Tamakazura were among the spectators. Tamakazura paid special attention to the Emperor Reizei, her own father, To-no-Chujo, Prince Hotaru and General Higeguro. The emperor in his red robe, who resembled Genji, attracted Tamakazura. It was her opinion that no one compared with him'.
