Uji The Tale of Genji City (1/3)
THIS IS THE FIRST PART OF THREE VIDEOS. Uji City [宇治市] is a city on the southern outskirts of the city of Kyoto, in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan.
Uji is located between the two ancient capitals of Nara and Kyoto. The city sits on the Uji River, which has its source in Lake Biwa. In the 4th century the son of Emperor Ōjin established a palace in Uji.
Uji is the source of Uji Tea, a very high quality Japanese tea. Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu (1358--1408) promoted cultivation of green tea in the Uji area, and since that time Uji has been an important production and distribution centre of superior quality green tea (including Tsuen tea, served since 1160 and sold in what is the oldest tea shop in Japan, and possibly the world--the Tsuen tea shop).
The final chapters of the Tale of Genji are set in Uji, attracting visiting literature buffs from all over the world.
Uji has many Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples, such as the Ujigami Shrine, one of the sites listed as part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto. The Byōdō-in (with its Amida Hall or Phoenix Hall) was built in 1053. Another famous temple is Mampuku-ji, the head temple of the Ōbaku Zen sect, built in Chinese Ming style in 1661. Also in the city is the Zen temple Kōshō-ji, constructed in 1648, with its famous Kotozaka entrance (framed with dense thickets of cherry, kerria, azalea, and maple trees, each of which dramatically changes colour with the seasons). Mimurodo-ji is famous for its abundance of purple hydrangeas, which can be viewed at night.
The city was founded on March 1, 1951. As of February 1, 2007, Uji has an estimated population of 192,921.Uji has an area of 67.55 km², giving it a density of 2,856 persons per km².
The Tale of Genji: Japanese Classic Illuminated | Exhibitions | Showcase
The 11th-century Japanese epic 'The Tale of Genji' has been described as the world's very first novel. The sprawling 54-chapter-long saga set in medieval Japan tells sweeping tales of imperial court rivalries, doomed love affairs and the Buddhist view of the afterlife. And now, an exhibition in New York is looking at the influence that this historical tome has had on the creative classes over the last millennia.

Room of Genji at Ishiyama-dera （石山寺） Temple, Shiga Prefecture, Japan
Room of Genji is located next the Main Worship Hall (Hondo) in Ishiyama-dera （石山寺） Temple, Shiga Prefecture, Japan.
It is said that Lady Murasaki Shikibu wrote the famous novel of the Heian Period The Tale of Genji (Genji Monogatari) in this room under the full moon light in August, 1004.
There are conflicting theories of where Lady Murasaki actually wrote this novel, one theory says that she wrote the novel at Rozanji Temple in Kyoto City, where her residence is located. However she might have spent a month at Room of Genji at Ishiyama-dera Temple and wrote parts of the Tale of Genji here.
The large temple garden behind the main Temple, has a statue of Lady Murasaki Shikibu, which is a great sight to watch.
Hope you enjoy this video.
The Tale of Genji-inspired Japanese Manga | Met Exhibitions
One of the most remarkable developments of Genji imagery in contemporary times is the emergence of numerous manga versions of the tale. Dreams at Dawn (Asaki yumemishi), a multivolume interpretation by the female artist Yamato Waki, has surpassed the others in artistry and attention to the historical details and literary features of the original.
Yamato's manga translation made the ancient tale accessible to a new generation of readers. The artist uses the visual idiom of girls' comics (shōjo manga)—such as figures characterized by slender physiques, sharp features, and large eyes—as well as the full range of storytelling strategies of the comic form. In terms of narrative content, shōjo manga emphasize romantic relationships and heightened emotions in stories told from a woman's perspective.
This video shows Yamato's artistic process. Consisting of individual character studies, the paintings prompted Yamato to explore the narrative arc, psychology, and motivations of each figure in new ways

The Tale of Genji (A Japanese Classic Illuminated) - the Met
This is the first major loan exhibition in North America to focus on the artistic tradition inspired by Japan's most celebrated work of literature, The Tale of Genji. Written by Murasaki Shikibu, a lady-in-waiting in the early eleventh-century imperial court, and often referred to as the world's first psychological novel, the tale recounts the amorous escapades of the Shining Prince Genji and introduces some of the most iconic female characters in the history of Japanese literature. Covering the period from the eleventh century to the present, the exhibition features more than 120 works, including paintings, calligraphy, silk robes, lacquer wedding set items, a palanquin for the shogun's bride, and popular art such as ukiyo-e prints and modern manga. Highlights include two National Treasures and several works recognized as Important Cultural Properties. For the first time ever outside Japan, rare works are on view from Ishiyamadera Temple—where, according to legend, Shikibu started writing the tale.- met museum
