This work is assumed to be one of the few pieces undertaken by Tosa Mitsuyoshi on a large folding screen. Mitsuyoshi specialized in works depicting scenes from The Tale of Genji, the renowned masterpiece of court literature. This screen depicts scenes taken from three chapters — Sekiya and Miyuki as well as Ukifune, which is from a section of the book known as the "Ten Chapters of Uji." In the lower left of the screen on the left is a description from an appraiser in 1692. It indicates that part of this work was retouched by Mitsuoki, a grandson of Mitsuyoshi, who became known as a founder of the Tosa School. Because it indicates a connection to the Tosa School, this information adds significant value to the artwork. Notably, the Seikado Bunko Art Museum has in its collection an artwork by Tawaraya Sotatsu titled "Folding Screen of Sekiya and Miotsukushi." Designated a national treasure, this work is thought by some to have been modeled on Mitsuyoshi's screen paintings because of its similar composition and subject matter. Much interesting discussion focuses on the question of Mitsuyoshi's influence as a leading painter inspired by The Tale of Genji.
