The poetic, mesmerizing "The Tale of Genji" was written at the very beginning of the eleventh century in Japan. Prince Genji falls in love, meets friends, grows up, and now his children are already having conversations about love and composing poems. The marvelous world of Japanese society and nature is most likely described by a court lady named Murasaki Shikibu. Thanks to her observation and talent, revolving in the high society of Japan, she preserved for us the fashion, holidays and customs of the Heian era; captured the subtleties of worldview and relationships between people. The heroes of "The Tale of Genji" love, suffer, compose poetry, and it is amazingly captured by a modern Japanese artist Hiroaki Miyayama. His unique prints for the immortal "Tale of Genji" are a true connoisseur's delight. The prints illustrate the great work as much as the fragments of the Tale illustrate and explain what the artist has depicted. Combined in the space of a single edition, they make a truly beautiful union and a magnificent book. Commentaries by leading Russian art historians add to the scientific and cultural value of the book.
