		Genji was born from Kiritsubo-no-Koyi (Kiritsubo means her rresidential room name, and koyi is her rank title), who was one of the Emperor's wives.
		Genji is quite successful in his career, but when a new emperor comes to the throne, he moves to Akashi in exile.
		Genji monogatari was quite popular among people in the court, and we can know from several diaries written by women of the aristcratic class that young ladies were crazy about Genji monogatari.

	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.

		It is sometimes called the first novel, the first modern novel, or the first novel to still be considered a classic -- however, whether or not Genji is a "novel" or "the first novel" is a debated issue among scholars.
		Genji and his wife Lady Aoi reconcile and she gives birth to a son, but dies soon after.
		Genji is sorrowful, but finds consolation in Lady Murasaki, whom he finds and weds in Kitayama.

	Tale of Murasaki - the Tale of Genji (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
		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.
		Murasaki has the spring pavilion, Genji's adopted daughter Akikonomu the autumn, the orange blossom lady is installed in the summer quarter, and the Akashi lady in the winter.
		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 is forced into a marriage of convenience with Aoi, the daughter of the Minister of the Left, but is never at ease with her.
		Thus Genji, despite having at one point moved away from the throne, in essence is returned closer to it, in a manner that quite passes the bounds of common sense.
		Genji reaches the zenith of his political power when he has his daughter, the Akashi Princess, who was born in Akashi, presented at court to the Togu Emperor, and is thus accorded all the benefices equivalent to a reigning emperor.

	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.
		In the early chapters it is as if the young Genji has a new woman in each chapter, and clearly the memory of his mother attracts him to some of them.
		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.

	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 Monogatari Review Pages
		Shibiku Murasaki's The Tale of Genji is one of the most significant literary works ever produced -- not only is the book the world's first novel, but the writer also happens to be (partially by default) the world's first female novelist.
		I'm not sure if we're supposed to sympathise with Genji Hikaru, but the impression I had when all was said and done is that he was a self-centered, almost childish person more interested in self-indulgence than the people he served.
		The story is slow moving and deliberate, capturing the feel of the culture of the Heian era and the life at court; music and poetry are prominent throughout the movie as well as some dance.

		No lady Genji had known, however, briefly, lacked a distinction of her own, nor did any give him reason to regret courting her; and perhaps that is why nothing came between them and him, and why they always got on so well.

		Genji, the son of an emperor by one of his "Intimates" and preternaturally blessed with beauty and charm, is the center of this two-volume opus though he and his heroine die some two-thirds into the book which details both his political fortunes and his many amorous adventures.
		IN the reign of a certain Emperor, whose name is unknown to us, there was, among the Niogo and Koyi of the Imperial Court, one who, though she was not of high birth, enjoyed the full tide of Royal favor.
		Another significant reason for acquiring and carefully poring over Tyler's new rendering of "The Genji" is the array of aids that he provides for reading a novel of such length and complexity.

	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.
