More about the book

The historical significance of Uji, a suburb south of Kyoto, is highlighted through its ancient bridge, first built in the 10th century. The bridge is notably featured in the concluding chapters of Murasaki Shikibu's classic, The Tale of Genji, which has been translated by Arthur Waley. A contemporary depiction of Murasaki stands at one end, linking the past and present, and emphasizing the enduring legacy of her literary contributions.
