The story of Genji (fragments). Murasaki S.

The poetic, bewitching The Tale of Genji was written at the very beginning of the XI century in Japan. Prince Genji falls in love, meets with friends, grows up, and now his children are talking about love and add up poems. The amazing world of Japanese society and nature is most likely described by a court lady named Murasaki Sikibu. Thanks to her observation and talent, rotating in the highest society of Japan, she retained for us fashion, the holidays and customs of the Heyan era; I captured the subtleties of worldview and relationships between people.

Ero "Tales of Genji" love, suffer, compose poems, and this was amazingly captured by the modern Japanese artist Hiroaki Miyaama. Its unique engravings to the immortal “Tale of Genji” is a genuine pleasure for connoisseurs. Engravings illustrate the great work to the same extent as the fragments of the “story” illustrate and explain the artist depicted. Combining in the space of one edition, they make up a truly beautiful alliance and a magnificent book. Comments of leading domestic art historians give the book additional scientific and cultural value.
