- Abstract
The article describes an Edo-period, 17th-century album of Japanese portrait paintings entitled "Thirty-Six Immortal Poets (Sanjūrokkasen)," which was donated to the Princeton University Library in 1942. The author outlines both the physical features of the artifact, particularly its ornamentation and decoration, and its contents, which consist of paintings of 36 Japanese poets from the 7th through 10th centuries. She also provides background information on the emergence of this group of writers, whose works were compiled as exemplary by the 11th-century Japanese scholar Fujiwara Kintō in his poetry collection "Sanjūrokkasenshu."
