The Fujiwara Chapter (Fujiwara no maki 藤原の巻)
The Fujiwara Chapter is a Japanese illustrated handscroll from 1661, a manuscript of the Tale of Genji text with painted scenes, made for courtly readers. Its paintings show Heian palace life in soft mineral colour on gold-flecked paper, with dense calligraphy in facing columns; a designer might borrow the flat perspective, rooftop patterns, and layered gold ground.
