The Genji Monogatari Emaki, also called The Tale of Genji Scroll, is an illustrated handscroll of the Japanese literary classic The Tale of Genji, produced in the 12th century, perhaps around 1120 to 1140. It is the earliest surviving text of the work and the earliest surviving example of the Yamato-e tradition of narrative illustrated scrolls. Its surviving sections are divided between the Tokugawa Art Museum and the Gotoh Museum, both designated National Treasures of Japan.
