description: This book is an old movable-type edition <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">of</u> one <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">of</u> the best-known classic works <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">of</u> Japanese literature. It is said to be the first printed version <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">of</u> <em><u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">genji</u> monogatari</em> (The tale <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">of</u> <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">genji</u>) and appears in 54 volumes produced in the Keichō Era (1596–1615). This is one <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">of</u> the earliest books for which hiragana types were used, and only two others are extant as scribal copies. Hiragana is a cursive script <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">of</u> the Japanese syllabary. One <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">of</u> the oldest novels in the world, <em><u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">genji</u> monogatari</em> was written in the early 11th century by a court lady known as Murasaki Shikibu. Her story concerns the life and loves <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">of</u> Prince <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">genji</u> and the affairs <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">of</u> his children and grandchildren, reflecting Japanese court life at the height <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">of</u> the Heian period (794–1185). The tale is told in prose and also has nearly 800 poems embedded in the narrative. <br>Aristocracy (Social class); Heian period; Japanese literature; Manners and customs; Princes; Romances; The Tale <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">of</u> <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">genji</u>
