WHI-Chap15-The Tale of Genji
From SJS Wiki
"The Tale of Genji"
Heian aristocratic women contributed few, but noteworthy works to Japanese literature. Murasaki Shikibu wrote "The Tale of Genji" in Japanese syllabic script and tells of a witty prince named Genji.
As the characters age, they realized that they can't enjoy things that already happened. The theme of this book is very reflective and melancholy in contrast to most writings of the Heian court.
