The room of "The Tale of
Genji"
"The Tale of Genji"is not a simple love story,but
rather a huge world of images. It is a wondrous work of art that
will take you back to the days of ancient Kyoto, 1000 years ago.
You will suddenly see Kyoto, back then,spread out before your
eyes. In my point of view, images are not only things that are
visualized and created withinthe mind, but arealso agents that
serve asmediums toaid in sharing something in common.

In this way, "The Tale of Genji" is a rare work of
art, in which
images exist between the lines. You cannot help but feel the images
that existed within the head of the author of this tale, Murasaki
Shikibu. This novel is surely a vehicle of images
that goes to and fro between the author and the reader.
So now, let's take a stroll into the world of the dark side of
the brain.
