ABOUT THE PRINT This is one of the best-known designs by Fusatane, a late-Edo pupil of Sadafusa who worked in landscape, beauty and historical prints. Artelino describes the full triptych as one of the designs collectors value most in his work. The series takes its title from kachō fūgetsu, "flowers, birds, wind and moon", the classic Japanese phrase for the beauties of nature. Each design gives one of the four themes to a scene of "Genji" court life. This sheet is the "Bird" design. In the complete triptych, Prince Genji releases a crane on the seashore. In Japan the crane stands for good fortune and long life. The "Genji" of late-Edo prints is not Murasaki Shikibu's hero himself. It is the courtly world made popular by Ryūtei Tanehiko's best-selling novel Nise Murasaki Inaka Genji ("A Fake Murasaki and a Rustic Genji"). The novel reset the Tale of Genji in the Muromachi period. Through the 1850s and 1860s it inspired a steady flow of elegant Genji-e prints, and this series is a late example published just before the Meiji Restoration.
