It is said that in 1004, when Murasaki Shikibu went to Ishiyama-dera Temple, he got the idea for ``Suma'' and ``Akashi'' from ``The Tale of Genji'' on the evening of the harvest moon on August 15th.
This work is a work depicting that legend.
The author, Hironaga Itaya, was the second generation of the Itaya family of the Sumiyoshi school and served as an official painter for the Shogunate.
This is an impressive painting of Murasaki Shikibu gazing at the moon reflected on the surface of a lake and the autumn leaves turning subtly colored.
