A
Genji diptych series printed in high quality and
designed over several years. The first prints
date from 1857, the most prints were produced in
1858, some in 1859 and four prints I found from
1861.
A "normal" Genji series includes 54 prints
mostly accompanied by a title or an index page.
This series includes only 39 prints, one
"opening" print and 38 diptychs. After years of
researching I couldn't find any other matching
print, so this series never has been completed.
Not all prints are counted/named "correctly".
Some chapter numbers were mixed up or used twice
and even one chapter name has been used twice.
