Japanese literature
This is a diary of a contemporary court lady who devoted herself to the Tale of Genji. The main character is a young lady from the Imperial family, and how she heals the emotional wounds caused by the mass media and bussing. Set in and around Rakuchu, which is associated with temples and shrines related to the Imperial Family and The Tale of Genji, an unexpected encounter softens the hearts of the lady and the court ladies and opens a new door to life. One of the charms of this book is that it subtly reproduces the taste of The Tale of Genji by weaving in "Yamatotoba" and about 10 waka poems of her own. It is also one of the charms of this book. The author is eager to throw a stone into the national debate about the relationship between the Imperial Family and the mass media, and the relationship between the Imperial Family and the people, and the way it should be.
