    Extractions: Japanese author Murasaki Shikibu was a Japanese writer of the late Heian period. Her book, The Tale of Genji, is the world's first psychological novel and one of the longest and most distinguished masterpieces of Japanese literature. The exact dates of the life of Lady Murasaki are not known, nor is her name. Shikibu, a title, may refer to her father, who served in the Ministry of Ceremonial, or of Rites (Shikibu Sh). The name Murasaki, literally "Violet," could refer to one of the heroines of The Tale of Genji or to the first element of her maiden name, Fujiwara, one of the greatest names in Japanese history. Murasaki was born into a lesser but distinguished and cultured branch of the Fujiwara family in the last quarter of the 10th century. Her father, Fujiwara Tamatoki, an official and poet, was at one time a provincial governor; his grandfather was a poet. Murasaki records in her diary her lessons in Chinese with her brother. She was so quick to learn that her father regretted that she was not a boy. Presumably Murasaki was educated in the usual Chinese and Buddhist classics as well as in Japanese literature, though this kind of learning was not stressed for young women in those days. Murasaki was married at about the age of 20, but her husband died soon after, in 1001, leaving her with a daughter. After her husband's death, Murasaki lived in retirement for some years. In 1004 Murasaki's father was appointed governor of the province of Echizen, 80 miles from the capital, a great distance in the 11th century. Arrangements were made for Murasaki to enter the service of Akiko, the young consort of Emperor Ichijo, as lady-in-waiting. Murasaki's diary, begun in 1008 and continued for 2 years thereafter, recounts her life at court. At the death of Emperor Ichijo in 1011, the Empress, with her suite of ladies, went into retirement. At this time Murasaki's father was appointed governor of the province of Echigo; in 1016 he retired from the world to take holy orders. Little or nothing of Murasaki's life is positively known from the time she entered the service of Empress Akiko. Murasaki is thought to have died about 1031.

    Extractions: As we approach the year 2000 many questions arise around the issues of Y2K, as well as cultural and religious responses to the new millennium. Here at Transparent Language, Inc. we thought this would be a good opportunity for you to look at a contemporary topic and how Japan is managing it. Included below are some interesting articles dedicated to the Y2K issues and a historical view toward the new millennium in Japan. In Japan, where only one percent of the population is Christian and the majority of people consider themselves Buddhists, the advent of the new millennium has little significance. In fact, the idea of a millennium was unfamiliar until the book, Millennium: A History of the Thousand Years by Felipe Fernandez-Armesto was published in 1996. Fernandez-Armesto distinguishes the publication of Genji-monogatari (the Tale of Genji), the world-famous Japanese classic written by Shikibu Murasaki, as the first event occurring in this millennium. When Shikibu Murasakidesignated by UNESCO in 1964 as one of the world's greatest peoplelaunched her 54-chaptered romantic tale in Kyoto in 1001, nobody in Japan knew that it was the beginning of the second millennium. For them, it was just Choho 3, the third year of the Choho period, because the Japanese calendar measures time according to the reigns of its emperors. For instance, 1999 is Heisei 11, meaning the current Emperor Akihito has reigned for 11 years.

During Heian -era Japan, couples lived separately and children were raised by the mother and her family. Also contrary to customs of the time, her father gave her a male's education. Males were educated in and taught Chinese , the official language of the court, while females were taught kana and poetry . Her father praised her intelligence and ability, but lamented she was "born a woman". At the royal court, she was the lady in waiting for Empress Shoshi/Akiko,and may have been hired by Fujiwara Michinaga to serve the Empress.

    Extractions: Murasaki Shikibu is the best known writer to emerge from Japan's glorious Heian period . Her novel, The Tale of Genji (Genji-monogatari) is considered to be one of the world's finest and earliest novels. Some argue that Murasaki is the world's first modern novelist. Shikibu was born into the Fujiwara family, daughter of the governor of a province, who also was a well known scholar. Always very intelligent, as a child she learned more quickly than her brother, causing her father to lament, "If only you were a boy, how happy I should be!" He did, however, allow Shikibu to study with her brother, even letting her learn some Chinese classics, which was considered improper for females at the time. When she was in her early twenties, Lady Murasaki was married to a distant relative. Her only daughter was born in 999. After the death of her husband in 1001 A.D, knowing of her writing talent and her brilliant mind, the imperial family brought Lady Murasaki to court. At court, Lady Murasaki began a

The tree-tops near the pond, the bushes near the stream, are dyed in varying tints whose colours grow deeper in the mellow light of evening. The murmuring sound of waters mingles all the night through with the never-ceasing recitation of sutras which appeal more to one's heart as the breezes grow cooler. The ladies waiting upon her honoured presence are talking idly. The Queen hears them; she must find them annoying, but she conceals it calmly. Her beauty needs no words of mine to praise it, but I cannot help feeling that to be near so beautiful a queen will be the only relief from my sorrow. So in spite of my better desires [for a religious life] I am here. Nothing else dispels my grief

Consisting of 54 chapters, it is generally considered to be the world's first true novel, and thereby occupies a critical role in the world's literary canon. It is almost universally acknowledged that this book is the finest flower of all Japanese literature, past or present. The Tale of Genji offers an unparalleled glimpse into the spirit and grandeur of the Heian era of Japan, which extended from 794 AD to 1191, between the Nara and Kamakura eras. During this era of peace and economic stability, an aristocracy controlled by the Fujiwara family dominated Japan, and the nation's capital was located at Kyoto. This period was a classic age of art and literature. Japan's culture was no longer one largely borrowed from China but had become distinctively Japanese. The ruling classes lived lives of luxury and prosperity, pursuing the fine arts and music. A man was measured as much by the quality of his poetry as by the strength of his sword.

    Extractions: Do you mean how their culture shaped their minds, or the minds of people in their day, or of people in general (throughout time) in their cultures? For Murasaki, find the book The World of the Shining Prince: Court Life in Ancient Japan , by Ivan Morris. What you should remember is that as a member of the court, and Japanese elite, her views and the lifestyle she wrote about solely reflect this environment. You certainly should discuss the status of educated women in Heian Japan - why they were more successful than men in producing literature that was widely received by the Japanese and why it has lasted. She has written a diary, "The Murasaki Shikibu Diary" from which excerpts can be found. The Diaries of Court Ladies of Old Japan by Annie Omori and Doi Dochi, AMS Press, 1970 would help. Letters and diary writing among the ladies of the court were instrumental in the development of prose writing, especially the form of "poem tales" which were a type of poetic biography - a mixture of fact and fiction.
