Murasaki was born into a lesser but distinguished and cultured branch of the Fujiwara family in the last quarter of the 10th century.
Her father, Fujiwara Tamatoki, an official and poet, was at one time a provincial governor; his grandfather was a poet.
The character of Genji may be based in part on the personality of Fujiwara Korechika (975-1010), a nephew of Fujiwara Michinaga (966-1027), a great statesman and distant relative of Lady Murasaki.
