I recently acquired a three panel set of a scene from "The Tale of Genji." It has an image of a seated Prince Genji on the left panel, a female figure dancing in the center and two female figures on the right panel. According to a friend from Japan it is signed "Utagawa Kunisada Ga" The publisher is identified as Tsuta-ya Kichizo. There are small stamps at the bottom of each panel in the form of a mountian with hollyhock leaves.
I was hoping to find out a bit more if someone might be familiar with the scene.
Thanks
