Since its eleventh century composition, The Tale of Genji has inspired everything from paintings, to kabuki plays, to anime. Now, the Ruth Chandler Williamson Gallery presents a comprehensive look at the woodblock prints influenced by this epic tale. Viewers will have the rare opportunity of seeing works from the personal collection of Paulette and Jack Lantz, which is considered the foremost collection of Genji prints.
