• Tale of Genji Museum in Uji City: A Discussion on the Use of Its "Folding Screens" as a Cultural Resource of the Local Community

抄録

Uji, located on the bank of Uji River at the outskirts of Kyoto, is a historical city. It is richly endowed with cherished cultural landscapes as vividly depicted in the last ten chapters of the most popular classical novel, 'The Tale of Genji', written in the mid-Hein period. Towards continuing and further strengthening its cultural patronage, Uji City established in 1998 a museum, Tale of Genji Museum, both as one of the city's tourist destinations and as its Town-Planning Centre and Promotional Venue for a lifelong study on its rich cultural history. Further, to accelerate the public awareness and to sustain its interest on the city and its cultures, the Uji City Museum of History and the Kyoto Bunkyo University have taken up joint research studies, and periodically organize exhibitions on different themes for the public since 2003. As a part of this on-going joint pursuits, the present paper provides a description and analysis on the motives and details of the landscapes and sceneries of Uji, as depicted on the paintings, 'Folding Screens of the Tale of Genji', and proceeds to argue that these paintings are not only the objects of art for visual pleasure and appreciation but are also the great local resources for educating the students of museology and for facilitating the public to have a lifelong appreciation for the cultural richness of the City. Towards this target, we propose to hold a few exhibitions at Tale of Genji Museum and also Mobile Museum organized by those students of Kyoto Bunkyo University who have opted for the course of study for the Prospective Museum Workers, possibly with some select 'Folding Screens of the Tale of Genji' maintained by the Tale of Genji Museum. 'The Tale of Genji' is a great source of traditions of literature that inspired a number of artists of different fields like painters, theatre artists, and craftsmen, and also has a profound influence on the development of popular culture that we might be able to call the "Genji Culture" in general. In this context, it may be said that our plans of exhibitions and Mobile Museum may further contribute to develop the 'Genji Culture' in Uji.
