PROVENANCE

---

fun fact:
<em>The Tale of the Heike</em> chronicles the conflict between the Taira (Heike) and Minamoto (Genji) families in the late 12th century.

digital description:
An aristocrat rides up a path to a residence where a woman plays a koto, a stringed instrument. The central composition is flanked on the right by a day-lit spring scene, and on the left by a nocturnal autumnal scene. The triptych presents an episode from <em>The Tale of the Heike</em> in which Minamoto no Nakakuni is sent by the emperor to look for Lady Kogō.

wall description:
Kiyohara Yukinobu was one of Japan's earliest and most talented female painters. Kiyohara preferred Japanese–style painting techniques and subjects. Her work depicts the scenery and history of her native land. In addition to the tonalities of ink, she applied a delicate range of colors that help identify the seasons, an important theme in Japanese life and culture.
