The Tale of Genji from Princesses to Pop

The Tale of Genji from Princesses to Pop

The Tale of Genji from Princesses to Pop unveils the newly restored six-fold screen by Kano Seisen'in Osanobu (1796-1846). Painted in delicate detail with striking gold-leaf and brilliant pigments, Bryn Mawr's Osanobu screen provides a captivating introduction to this literary classic of Japan. Also on view is a range of objects from the College's collection, including items of the contemporary era meant to demonstrate the cultural legacy of “Genji.”

The screen's conservation was made possible by a grant from the Sumitomo Foundation.
