Yoshitaka Amano has been praised around the world for his lush watercolors and evocative work dealing with myth and legend. In The Tale of Genji Mr. Amano brings his considerable talent to retelling one of the most famous of Japanese myths: written by Murasaki Shikibu shortly after 1000 AD and considered by most scholars to be the first novel ever written, The Tale of Genji is the story of the romantic adventures of Genji, the amazingly handsome prince and his many romantic conquests. Told through stunning paintings, Mr. Amano brings this classic story to life for a new generation. No library descriptions found. |

Α ρε Γκέντζι αισθηματία,
Έχεις πηδήξει τη μισή Ιαπωνία

I first heard of this story when I was searching info about overwatch characters and found that Genji the character was inspired by the classic tale of Genji. Genji from overwatch was a playboy before the accident which deprived him of his limbs. ( )
