Comments - Lovely triptych depicting Prince Genji visiting a beauty at her home. He wipes the back of his neck with a towel as a girl kneels beside him holding a small bowl of water. A woman offers him an elegant tobacco set with an ornate pipe as he waits for the beauty to dress. She has just finished taking a bath, and she uses the sleeve of her blue and white cotton kimono to dry the side of her face. An attendant holds out a lacquer tray with a pink floral kimono folded on it, another robe hanging over a lacquer stand at right. A plum tree blooms in the garden outside, hanging gracefully over a stone basin of water with a dipper laid across it. Beautiful color and detail in the attractive setting and fabrics.
