Scene from The Tale of Genji: Chapter 4, "Evening Face" (Ygao) 17th century Tosa School This scene illustrates a celebrated chapter in The Tale of Genji, “Evening Faces (Ygao).” Genji stops to inquire after his old nurse and glimpses pretty foreheads in the humble house next to the nurse’s home. He looks up at white “evening faces,” flowers over the wall of the house, and asks his attendant Koremitsu to break one off. A pretty little girl comes out and hands him a heavily scented white fan, saying, “Put it on this. It is not much of a fan, but it is not much of a flower either.” Genji then begins his ephemeral and tragic affair with Ygao. Shortly thereafter, Ygao dies as a result of the jealousy of Rokuj Lady.. Scene from The Tale of Genji: Chapter 4, "Evening Face" (Ygao). Tosa School. Japan. 17th century. Matted painting; ink and color on silk. Edo period (1615-1868). Paintings
