Work Information

By casting the light of court culture on Genji, the spaces and sounds of the tale emerge anew.

Using palace spaces, dance music, and saibara as guides, the book moves between the fictional world and the cultural background of the Heian court. It draws on records, precedent, tales, and waka to give classical interpretation greater depth.
