愉しき源氏絵―土佐光吉と浮世絵版画から―
平成31年2月9日（土）～3月24日（日）
所蔵品の中から、桃山時代の土佐派を代表する土佐光吉が絵を描いた「源氏物語手鑑」（重要文化財）を主軸として、江戸時代の浮世絵師・三代歌川豊国（初代国貞）や二代歌川国貞などが手掛けた浮世絵版画による源氏絵を展示します。平安時代に紫式部が著した『源氏物語』に取材した古典の源氏絵と、江戸時代後期の戯作者柳亭種彦が著した『偐紫田舎源氏（にせむらさきいなかげんじ）』の挿絵に端を発する当世風の源氏絵、この二つの源氏絵の世界をあわせてお楽しみください。

The Pleasures of Genjie—From Tosa Mitsuyoshi and Ukiyoe Prints
February 9, 2019 (Sat.) – Mar 24 (Sun.)
Genjie, paintings illustrating sections of The Tale of Genji, will be on display, starting with the Genji Monogatari Tekagami (Important cultural property) by Tosa Mitsuyoshi, the leading Tosa School painter of the Momoyama period, from the museum collection. Other works will include ukiyoe prints by Edo-period artist Utagawa Toyokuni III (the first Kunisada) and the second Kunisada. The Tale of Genji was written in the 12th-century Heian period by Murasaki Shikibu, and classic genjie that illustrate the story are on display, along with illustrations of Nise-Murasaki inaka Genji (Parody of The Tale of Genji) authored by Tanehiko Ryūtei that was in fashion in the late Edo period. Enjoy both worlds of genjie.
