Picture Scroll of the Tale of Genji - Scene from the Chapter of Hashihime and Yadorigi II, 12th Century
Description
A characteristic of the Late Heian style is the close attention to detail and can be seen in the delicately gold crafted Japanese screens in the middle ground of the image, and also in the sumptuous fabrics of the aristocrats.
With the patronage from the court, artists were able to experiment and broaden technique styles utilizing sumptuous colors such as purple, red, orange, deep blues, yellows, and traditional black ink. Among other materials used under the courtly influence were cut-gold patterning and sprinkled gold.
