Science Fiction

Lady Murasaki’s eleventhcentury classic chronicles the life and loves of Hikaru Genji, AKA, “the Shining Prince,” retainer to the royal court and son of the Emperor by a courtier. The epic tale, set in the rich culture of the Heian period, follows Genji through the years as he romances various women and serves in the court until his bitter exile. Along the way, Genji encounters a panorama of vivid characters and unforgettable incidents, in the process discovering a breathtaking diversity of Japanese manners and morals. In this striking retelling, Yoshitaka Amano, who has won widespread praise and legions of fans for his art in the fi elds of manga, anime, graphic novels, and fi ne art, distinctively renders The Tale of Genji in vibrant watercolors. This inventive reimagining of a certifi ed masterpiece puts a new spin on a legendary work, evoking high Japanese culture of a thousand years ago.
