 note = {There are two extant versions of The Tale of Genji tuoith Black-and-White Illustrations (Hakubyō-e-iri Genji Monogatari). One in the Museum Yamato Bunkakan in the form of an album, and the other is in the Tokugawa Museum which was detached from its original album format and long mounted on a pair of folding screens. Recently the detached sheets have been remounted as a hand scroll. The Tale of Genji with Black-and-White Illustrations is dated to the mid-13th century and offers a stark contrast to the richly colored Tale of Genji scroll made in the first half of the 12th century, the extant sections of which are preserved in the Tokugawa Museum and the Gotō Museum. The surviving portions of the black-and-white, or hakubyō, illustrated version are largely from “A Boat Upon the Waters” (Ukifune), the 51st chapter of the novel with a few detached sheets from the text of “The Drake Fly” (Kagerō), the 52nd chapter. (See: AKIYAMA Terukazu, “The Tale of Genji with Black and White Illustrations— the Chapters of Ukifune and Kagerō,” Bijutsu Kenkyū, No. 227, March, 1963).
     Since the extant sections of the hakubyō version are from the last portion of Lady Murasaki's novel, it has been unclear whether the entire novel was illustrated in the hakubyō style in the Kamakura period. However, a detached page of the text from chapter 48 entitled “Early Ferns” (Sawarabi) has recently been discovered (Plate IX). The text is written on paper with a marbled background (suminagashi) in a distinct artistic arrangement . The dimentions of the sheet (H. 23.7, W. 18.4 cm.) and the style of the calligraphy is identical with the Tokugawa Museum and Yamato Bunkakan versions (Fig. 3). Furthermore, the decoration corresponds with the marbled ground paper in the Yamato Bunkakan album (Fig. 1). In this album each page of text on marbled paper consists of a large leaf which was folded and bound to form two pages of text. This marble-patterned leaf is followed by un-decorated page of artistic calligraphy and then a blank page. The subsequent double-page is a hakubyō illustration. In the newly-discovered fragment only the right-hand side of the leaf remains, but the close affinity of the artistic arrangement of the calligraphy and marbled paper to the first leaf in the Yamato Bunkakan album have led Mr. AKIYAMA to posit that in the original form it was followed by a hakubyō illustration. The scene of “Early Ferns” described in the text is the sad farewell and exchange of poems between Naka-no-kimi and her childhood nurse Ben-no-ama (For an English translation of the text of this section, see: Edward SEIDENSTICKER, The Tale of Genji, New York, 1976, Vol. II, p. 879 line 36 ～ p. 880 line 4). This scene, moreover, is illustrated in an extant portion of the early-12th century illustration of The Tale of Genji Scroll in the Tokugawa Museum.
     This discovery is significant in several regards. First of all, the text is from the same part of the “Early Ferns” chapter as the Heian-period illustrated version, indicating that the hakubyō version made in the Kamakura period may have been based on the Heian-period work or a similar recension. Secondly, the extant sections of the hakubyō version known previously were from the final chapters of the novel, illustrations of which do not survive in the Heian-period illustrated scroll version. If based on the Heian-period scroll, the hakubyō edition would be an important link in tracing the lineage of the early illustration of The Tale of Genji. Lastly, it is now certain that the hakubyō set originally consisted of more than the last few chapters and may have originally been made for the entire novel, or at least for the last ten “Uji chapters” (Uji-jūjō).},
