	Genji - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For the clan name Genji (源氏) or the main character of the book The Tale of Genji, see Genji (clan).
		Genji (元治) was a Japanese era after Bunkyū and before Keiō, and spanned from March 27, 1864 to April 30, 1865.
		Due to the beginning of a new 60-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac, on March 27, Bunkyū 4 (1864), the era became Genji ("Original Rule").

	The Tale of Genji - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Genji was the second son of a certain ancient emperor and a low-ranking concubine.
		Genji is frustrated because of his forbidden love to the Lady Fujitsubo and is on bad terms with his wife, Lady Aoi (Aoi no Ue).
		Edward Seidensticker, who made the second translation of the Genji, believed that it was not finished, and that Murasaki Shikibu could not have a planned story structure with an "ending" and would simply have gone on writing as long as she could.

	Tale of Murasaki - the Tale of Genji (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Genji begins an affair with the Rokujô lady (who is seven years older than Genji, and widow of the deceased crown prince) while at the same time nursing a hidden passion for his stepmother Fujitsubo.
		Genji turns his attention to the young Murasaki by abruptly changing the nature of their relationship to a sexual one.
		Genji (perhaps remembering his own transgression with his stepmother) has never allowed his son contact with Murasaki, and the young man is transfixed by her beauty.

		Genji, an imperial prince, was born to the favorite wife of the emperor, a woman too low in rank for him to inherit the throne.
		In his youth Genji fell in love with his father's youngest wife, Fujitsubo, a woman whom he was encouraged to see because she looked so much like his birth mother who died when he was an infant.

	Review: Genji - Dawn of the Samurai (PS2)
		Genji: Dawn of the Samurai’s design approach is highly reminiscent of the Onimusha series, and features a similar feel and structure.
		Genji’s basic move sets and weapons let you cut through your enemies easily; players can purchase numerous upgrades and items as they progress through the game to enhance their character’s abilities and power.
		Genji probably won’t win any awards for innovation, bearing much of Onimusha’s imprint, this is still a solidly entertaining title that succeeds in mxing action and story without making too many compromises along the way.

		In chapters 2 and 9, a Chunagon is one of Genji's favorites among the women attending his wife, Lady Aoi, and he sleeps with her in Chapter 12.
		Genji gives him a glimpse of Tamakazura's beauty by releasing fireflies in her room at night, and this gives him the name used for him in the novel, which means "firefly."
		Eight years older than Genji Her jealousy is so strong that her wandering spirit kills the lady of the evening faces and Aoi and attacks others.

	Viewing Japanese Prints: "Genji Mon"
		Genji crests ('Genji-mon') are 54 different rectilinear emblems, each associated with one of the 54 chapters of the 'Genji monogatari' ("Tale of Genji," early eleventh century, written by Murasaki Shikibu).
		Genji crests (see Table of 'Genji-mon'), also called 'Genji-kô' ("Genji incense"), were apparently first derived from one of the traditional incense ceremonies in which participants burned combinations of 5 primary scents from 25 different packets, each marked with a unique symbol.
		Thus in ukiyo-e prints the inclusion of 'Genji-mon' may not designate a direct association with a particular chapter in the 'Genji monogatari', although indirect allusions can often be found (see the discussion about one of Kuniyoshi's "Cloudy Genji" prints).

	Genji: Dawn of the Samurai Review / Preview for PlayStation 2 (PS2)
		Genji: Dawn of the Samurai may not be the most violent or action-packed Samurai or Ninja game on the market but it strives for something different - and succeeds.
		Genji manages to capture the enchanting nuances of an ancient culture and its myths in an artistic style seldom attained in videogames.
		Genji still allows you to hack and slash to your heart's content but it also lets you stop and smell the roses along the way.

	Genji'
		When Fujitsubo is 23, and Genji 18, she gives birth to son, although the circumstances of the relationship force them to pretend the child is the Emperor's, despite the baby's uncany resemblence to Genji.
		Genji doesn't like this, but upon his return from exile their relationship works out quite well by allowing them to essentially rule as siblings, and they no longer continue with their illicit behavior.
		Genji takes her younger brother, Kogimi into his service as a faithful page to run errands, but Utsusemi will have little to do with Genji's frivolous ways and his relationship with her is just like the many other ladies he courts for such a brief time.

	Genji Monogatari
		And the book as a whole is not "The Tale of Genji." Two-thirds of the way through the book, chapter 42 opens with the sentence "Genji is dead," and the central character in the last third is Kaoru, thought to be Genji's son, but actually the son of his friend Kashiwagi.
		He has an affair with one of the emperors concubines, Fujitsubo, who reminds everyone of Genji's mother, and she then has his child, though it is thought to be the emperor's--which causes many problems later.
		Genji first sees her when she is still a child (and he is but seventeen, though already an experienced lover), from a distance, when he is at a retreat recovering from a particularly traumatic love affair which has resulted in the death of the woman, Yugao.

	Genji: Dawn of the Samurai - GameCritics.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		At its core, Genji is proof that a game doesn't have to do something new to be great—instead, it can take elements from other titles, refine them to near perfection, and create an experience that is at once familiar but at the same time uniquely satisfying.
		However, this is only the tip of the proverbial iceberg when it comes to the combat mechanics—the real meat of the system lies in the Kamui gauge and using it effectively.
		I've been pretty vocal in my appreciation for shorter games that end on a high note and don't wear out their welcome, but paying the full price for an experience that ends so abruptly is sure to annoy gamers who expect a longer experience for their $40.

	Genji: Dawn of the Samurai: PlayStation 2 (PS2) Previews - The Armchair Empire
		For those who are history buffs, Genji: Dawn of the Samurai takes place during the end of the twelfth century, during the Genpei War.
		Going for a more straightforward, sword-swinging, action-oriented romp, Genji will have players controlling Genkuro Yoshitsune, as well as his friend Benkei (two of the most noted heroes of this conflict who fought for the Genji clan), as they work to bring the Genji clan to power.
		Considering that the game is inspired by Tale of Genji, one of the world's first novels, and regarded by scholars as one of the greatest sources of insights into court life in Heian Japan, it certainly appears that the game is going for a reasonable degree of historical accuracy as well.

	a review of genji (**1/2) - large prime numbers. proud to be your #1 google search result for "'them crazy ...
		Genji, a videogame published by Sony Computer Entertainment Japan and developed by Game Republic, is just another mediocre interpretation of the Yoshitsune legend, which might (still waiting for word from the scholars holed up in Kyoto deliberating), actually, be kind of a mediocre legend.
		Genji's theme is, after all, that even the discerning eye looks the other way if there's something shiny in that other direction.
		Genji's brother in pedigree, Fumito Ueda's Shadow of the Colossus, will no doubt be a more interesting videogame; Genji will no doubt sell more, thanks to its box art, its history, its surrouding controversies, and its public ad campaign.

		The Tale of Genji (Genji Monogatari) was written around 1000-1025 by a woman known to history as Lady Murasaki or Murasaki Shibiku.
		For most of the novel, Prince Genji's relationships with the women in his life are depicted; around chapter 41, he dies, and the loves of his last wife's son, Kaoru, become the focus.
		Genji prays in a verse but, as he is standing on the seashore looking so beautiful, the calm sea turns into an appalling storm which rages for days, and which is the King of the Sea's attempt to claim Genji as a lover.

	The tale of Genji
		Before talking about Genji, some people might wonder what influenced Lady Murasaki Shikibu to create "KoGenji," and what the significance of Genji to Lady Murasaki Shikibu is. The meaning of "Ko" in front of Genji was usually used in ancient Japanese names, to mean pretty and charming.
		Even though Genji was raised in the center of politics, Genji still kept his unique personality, which was a contrast to the politics.
		In Tale of Genji, the Rokujo lady who continues to haunt Prince Genji's lovers long after he has rejected her is Mieko which Enchi claims, an embodiment of this archetype.

		Genji is essentially a bunch of combat sections broken up with a few very sparse exploration jaunts and a few cutscenes.

		The action is relentless giving you little room to breathe between battles, but the complexity and strategy behind each battle gives Genji plenty of depth, with multiple moves to master.
		In addition, players will be able to track the characters’ growth and changes throughout their adventure, with additional cinematic sequences that add to the game’s overall depth.
		Disappointingly, Genji won’t include any multiplayer or online modes, which is a real shame since the accessible controls and fast pace would make it an ideal candidate.

	Genji 2 Hands-on for PS3 - Pro-G
		The first time I got my hands on Genji 2 I could have sworn someone was playing a trick on me. I checked the controller, checked the logo on the kiosk and I even asked a passer-by.
		To my dismay, Genji 2 looked near-identical to its PlayStation 2 brother, and while its predecessor was, and remains, one of the best looking games on PlayStation 2, it was hard not to be a little let down by the PlayStation 3 game's visual flair, or lack there of.
		The square button is still used to perform the three same slashes, the triangle button is still used for the leaping attack, which helps to continue combos, and so forth.

		And although the title may not be familiar to most Westerners, The Tale of Genji is one of the first novels ever written in any language, a deeply important example of world literature.
		While the story was a bit convoluted (blame the classic novel, perhaps) it's clear that the hero of the game, Yoshitsune, has a powerful relic known as the Amahagane, which allows a discharge of powerful spiritual energy into Yoshitsune's swords.
		Genji may not offer much new, but it is one of the most fully formed examples yet of its genre.
