A Thousand Years of The Tale of Genji Exhibition Date: August 30th (Sat)-November 3rd (Mon), 2008
The tale of Genji is a greatly revered masterpiece written a thousand years ago. The tale tells about the life of a man, the son of an emperor. His name, Hikaru Genji or "Shining Genji," written 源氏, is also read to mean the historical Minamoto clan (源の氏 Minamoto-no-Uji) in which he was made to join. For political reasons he was demoted to "commoner" status for bearing such a name. The intricate tale revolves around Genji's romantic life and depicts in great detail the customs and traditions of the aristocratic society at the time.
