English: Accession Number: Display Artist: Utagawa Kunisada Display Title: Autumn Translation(s): 'Genji no shiki''Aki''' Series Title: Four Seasons with Genji (Genji shiki no uchi) Creation Date: early 1850s Medium: Woodblock Height: 14 in. Width: 33 1/8 in. Display Dimensions: 14 in. x 33 1/8 in. ( cm x cm) Publisher: Maruya Jinpachi Credit Line: Gift of Loch and Clare Crane Label Copy: 'Mitsuuji, the protagonist of Inaka Genji, is shown here on a pleasure trip in autumn, having just arrived at a scenic spot to enjoy the maple leaves. Three ladies, all dressed in colorful, luxurious kimono, accompany him. Mitsuuji is a nineteenth-century version of Prince Genji, but he is the illegitimate son of the Shogun instead of the emperor. The scene shown here is a completely new image conceived by the artist who imaginatively placed the characters from the novel in this setting. Derivative images like this that set Mitsuuji and other characters from the Inaka Genji into new contexts started to appear by the late 1830s or early 1840s.' Label Copy (Spanish): 'Mitsuuji, el protagonista de Inaka Genji, aparece aqu en un viaje de placer durante el otoo. Acaba de llegar a este sitio pintoresco para disfrutar las hojas de arce. Lo acompaan tres damas vestidas en kimonos coloridos y elegantes. Mitsuuji es una versin del Prncipe Genji del siglo XIX, pero es el hijo ilegtimo del Shogun en vez del emperador. La escena es una imagen completamente nueva concebida por el artista que imaginativamente coloc a los personajes de la novela en este entorno. Las imgenes derivadas como esta, que colocan a Mitsuuji y a otros personajes del Inaka Genji en nuevos contextos, comenzaron a aparecer a finales de los 1830 o principios de los 1840.'
