The Tokugawa Museum of Art usually displays two of the 15 scrolls of the Tale of Genji, a national treasure in its collection, as a special exhibition in November each year, but this year five scrolls will be on display from September to November, with the scenes switched between them.
What is the national treasure The Tale of Genji Picture Scroll?
Although the existence of The Tale of Genji in Murasaki Shikibu’s own hand is no longer known, many manuscripts and picture scrolls of The Tale of Genji have been produced by many people.
The Tale of Genji Picture Scroll, a national treasure in the collection of the Tokugawa Art Museum, is the oldest surviving copy and the finest of its kind, and is thought to have been produced in the first half of the 12th century, mainly by the court in the late Heian period.
A national treasure, the Tale of Genji is the most dignified and compelling of the many ‘Genji-paintings’.
