Japanese Classical Women's Diary (illustrated Edition)

About This Novel

During the Heian period in Japan, the culture of the Tang Dynasty was absorbed, and the palace diary literature written in female characters (kana script) was born, which can be regarded as the origin of Japanese women's literature. These works depict elegant court life, tell elegant and bitter love experiences, and also provide new soil for "The Tale of Genji", which is regarded by later generations as the highest peak of Japanese classical literature. "The Diary of Murasaki Shikibu" adheres to the tradition of the diary of a palace lady, describing the palace life and what Murasaki Shikibu saw and heard when he served Murasaki Shikibu, the author of "The Tale of Genji", when he served Akiko Fujiwara, the middle palace. "Dragonfly Diary" is the pioneer work of female diary literature during the Heian Dynasty. It is divided into three volumes, which reviews the nearly 21 years of marriage to the regent Sekishiro Fujiwara Kaneie. "Izumi Shikibu Diary" is characterized by unrestrained singing style and passionate emotions, and it deeply portrays the true mentality of women in love, where they are swaying and worrying about gains and losses. "Genshiki Diary" is based on personal collections, travel notes and other materials, and describes the bright and bright emotions, thoughts and memories of women influenced by literary works such as "The Story of Genshiki".
