“Tale of Genji” is one of the most famous tales in Japan.
If you are Japanese you know it.
It is written by Shikibu Murasaki (978-1016) in the mid Heian period.
The tales are staged in Kyoto.
We see musical, movie, anime and so on of “Tale of Genji”.

The original text of “Tale of Genji” is very difficult for present day Japanese people to read without special education, so it can be said that many people are more familiar with modern translations such as the work by Akiko Yosano, Junichiro Tanizaki and so on.

This app is based on a book called "Song of Genji" which is written by Yoko Sekiguchi.
(From Kiritsubo to Yumenoukihashi)

There are many different ways of thinking about the tales.
There is no one who has sorted out the mysteries of it properly.
That makes it even more interesting and that is the reason why it has been loved by many people for a long time.
“Tales of Genji” has been translated in many languages, such as English, French, and German.
We translated “Song of Genji” in English so you can enjoy Yoko’s world this time.

We hope that you get to know new discoveries and feelings of Yoko Sekiguchi.
