The National Treasure “The Tale of Genji Illustrated Handscrolls” in the Tokugawa Art Museum collection is the oldest surviving illustrated version of the early eleventh-century narrative The Tale of Genji and is famous worldwide as one of the great masterpieces embodying the classical culture of the Heian period.
