LADY SHIKIBU MURASAKI Single Mother and Widow Writes the World's First Novel and No One Notices By Courtney Hudak Had she been a man, Lady Shikibu Murasaki would now be regularly studied in schools throughout the world. In Japan, she's known as the writer of what may be the single greatest work of Japanese literature ever, "The Tale of Genji." Yet around the rest of the world, while Coleridge and Chaucer are discussed at the dinner tables of literarily inclined grad students, Murasaki's name is still relatively unknown. Had she been born a boy, maybe things would be different. Maybe she would be hailed around the world as the brilliant poet and novelist she was, someone comparable to Dante or Homer. Shikibu Murasaki changed the look of literature. Had she been a man, maybe today we would all know her name. But she was a woman. As a result, she spent her entire life struggling against tradition. Stone by stone, she quietly worked little holes in the walls that society placed in front of her, and then slipped through. It wasn't proper for a girl to be smart, so Murasaki fought for every detail of her education. Her father refused to let her study formally, though he did eventually consent to let her look over her brother's books when he was done with them. Murasaki gained most of her education this way, learning far more than was traditionally acceptable. She learned at an early age to conceal her knowledge. In the second century Japan, it was considered unfeminine for a woman to know the things that Murasaki knew.

On Monday nights, Global Voice is brought to you in English. T he action being taken this autumn for the prevention of fires From November 9 th to 15 th , a campaign will be held across the country to promote fire prevention activities. From now and throughout the winter, the atmosphere dries out, and people also start to use their heaters and stoves, making the possibility of fire outbreaks that much higher. In Nagoya, each fire station in the city will be carrying out various fire prevention events, such as lectures on fire and disaster prevention and fire drills with the participation of fire engines. In addition, ward offices, department stores, movie theaters and subway stations etc. will be displaying posters about the issue, in order to remind Nagoyafs citizens of the dangers of fire and call on them to take measures to prevent fire accidents. We use fire on a daily basis, for cooking, heating, or even smoking, and fires can break out due to the very slightest carelessness. Whenever you use fire, please make sure that it is fully extinguished after use.

The Tale of Genji by Lady Shikibu Murasaki A. Background (Book1008A.D.) 1.The Tale of Genji is considered as one of the greatest achievement of all Japanese literature and as one of the world’s first novels. Was written in 6 parts, we are reading only the first. While this novel was written at a time when Chinese literature and ideas were still an apparent presence and influence in Japan , this book is distinctively Japanese. It reflects particularly the Japanese traditions and does not draw from the familiar Chinese poetry and prose. Written by Lady Shikibu Murasaki , who presumably derived many of the courtly aspects from her experiences working for the royal family. Important to understanding the beginning of Murasaki's novel is to understand the meaning of the word genji Genji refers to someone of first generation royal blood who has been declared unfit to be named Emperor. So, a genji can be viewed as only a very weak threat, someone who has lost his potential birthright B. The Political climate of the time During Murasaki's life, the Fujiwara family dominated Japanese politics.

April/May 1999 Dear Language Enthusiast, Greetings from Transparent Language! The first half of this newsletter, which you will find below, is in English, but you can also practice your Japanese skills by reading the text in Japanese characters. We hope this helps you with your Japanese language learning. 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. You will also find tips for using JapaneseNow! appended to the articles. Sincerely, Takeshi Asai Japanese Editor In English: 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.

Murasaki Shikibu Murasaki's date of birth is not precisely known, but likely to have been in the 970's. I have used the most widely accepted date of 973. A few events in her life are recorded historically: she accompanied her father to Echizen when he was made governor of that province in the summer of 996; and she and returned to the capital to marry Fujiwara Nobutaka in 998. Their daughter, Katako , was born in 999. It is not known, precisely, when she began writing the Tale of Genji —the standard story is that she began it after she was widowed. I think she must have begun earlier in her life, however, writing bits and pieces that later she may have swept into a more ambitious narrative. There is also argument as to exactly when she entered court service. I have constructed a plausible chronology based on the events mentioned in her Diary that would make that date the last day of the year 1005. The fragments of her Diary that have come down to us primarily cover the years 1008-1010 during her life in service to Empress Shôshi The date of Murasaki's death is unknown as well. Some scholars think she may have died in 1014, since that year
