The tale's hero Prince Genji is a shining example of the Heian-era ideal man, accomplished in poetry, dance, music, painting, and, not least of all to the novel's many plots, romance. "The Tale of Genji" and the characters and world it depicts has influenced Japanese culture to its very core and this celebrated translation by Arthur Waley gives Western readers a very genuine feel for the tone of this beloved classic.
