The Story Genji
A story of Heian courtly love unrolls in panoramic grace and glory:
The shining Prince Genji devotes his heart throughout his life
to beautiful Lady Murasaki,so called after a graceful purple flower.
Buffeted by various winds from every side,
she responds to them all,and does her best in her own way.
Softly,sagaciously,elegantly,living life in its essence,
she somehow shares something with us who live in the modern world.
