    Extractions: famous women from every region in the world. Region: Asia Country: Japan Murasaki Shikibu is the best known writer to emerge from Japan's glorious Heian period . Her novel, The Tale of Genji (Genji-monogatari) is considered to be one of the world's finest and earliest novels. Some argue that Murasaki is the world's first modern novelist. Shikibu was born into the Fujiwara family, daughter of the governor of a province, who also was a well known scholar. Always very intelligent, as a child she learned more quickly than her brother, causing her father to lament, "If only you were a boy, how happy I should be!" He did, however, allow Shikibu to study with her brother, even letting her learn some Chinese classics, which was considered improper for females at the time. When she was in her early twenties, Lady Murasaki was married to a distant relative. Her only daughter was born in 999. After the death of her husband in 1001 A.D, knowing of her writing talent and her brilliant mind, the imperial family brought Lady Murasaki to court. At court, Lady Murasaki began a

The tree-tops near the pond, the bushes near the stream, are dyed in varying tints whose colours grow deeper in the mellow light of evening. The murmuring sound of waters mingles all the night through with the never-ceasing recitation of sutras which appeal more to one's heart as the breezes grow cooler. The ladies waiting upon her honoured presence are talking idly. The Queen hears them; she must find them annoying, but she conceals it calmly. Her beauty needs no words of mine to praise it, but I cannot help feeling that to be near so beautiful a queen will be the only relief from my sorrow. So in spite of my better desires [for a religious life] I am here. Nothing else dispels my grief

    Extractions: Japanese author Murasaki Shikibu was a Japanese writer of the late Heian period. Her book, The Tale of Genji, is the world's first psychological novel and one of the longest and most distinguished masterpieces of Japanese literature. The exact dates of the life of Lady Murasaki are not known, nor is her name. Shikibu, a title, may refer to her father, who served in the Ministry of Ceremonial, or of Rites (Shikibu Sh). The name Murasaki, literally "Violet," could refer to one of the heroines of The Tale of Genji or to the first element of her maiden name, Fujiwara, one of the greatest names in Japanese history. Murasaki was born into a lesser but distinguished and cultured branch of the Fujiwara family in the last quarter of the 10th century. Her father, Fujiwara Tamatoki, an official and poet, was at one time a provincial governor; his grandfather was a poet. Murasaki records in her diary her lessons in Chinese with her brother. She was so quick to learn that her father regretted that she was not a boy. Presumably Murasaki was educated in the usual Chinese and Buddhist classics as well as in Japanese literature, though this kind of learning was not stressed for young women in those days. Murasaki was married at about the age of 20, but her husband died soon after, in 1001, leaving her with a daughter. After her husband's death, Murasaki lived in retirement for some years.

Consisting of 54 chapters, it is generally considered to be the world's first true novel, and thereby occupies a critical role in the world's literary canon. It is almost universally acknowledged that this book is the finest flower of all Japanese literature, past or present. The Tale of Genji offers an unparalleled glimpse into the spirit and grandeur of the Heian era of Japan, which extended from 794 AD to 1191, between the Nara and Kamakura eras. During this era of peace and economic stability, an aristocracy controlled by the Fujiwara family dominated Japan, and the nation's capital was located at Kyoto. This period was a classic age of art and literature. Japan's culture was no longer one largely borrowed from China but had become distinctively Japanese. The ruling classes lived lives of luxury and prosperity, pursuing the fine arts and music. A man was measured as much by the quality of his poetry as by the strength of his sword.

    Extractions: Izumi Shikibu Izumi Shikibu was a renowned poet contemporary of Murasaki Shikibu . They were not related. The Shikibu in their names comes from the fact that their fathers at one time held posts in the Bureau of Ceremonial ( shikibu-shô ). Both women were members of the lower echelons of the nobility. There is no record of the two Shikibus having met, even though Izumi was invited to join Empress Shôshi 's salon in 1009, three years after Murasaki. In that small world it is hard to imagine they would not have run across one another frequently. Murasaki's rather stinging opinions of Izumi come directly from her Diary, in a letter fragment containing unsweetened characterizations of various ladies of her acquaintance. In order to account for Murasaki's disdain, I built in a scene depicting Izumi as slow to pick up a poetic reference. This is entirely made up and I have been quite unfair to Izumi Shikibu in this one-sided portrayal. There is no record of what she thought about Murasaki. I continued to build on this nugget of ill will in the fictional scene where Murasaki feels betrayed when her friend Sanenari (real person, fictional relationship to Murasaki) ignores her and begins to court Izumi Shikibu in her stead. When Murasaki was younger I proposed that her feelings about Izumi were more sanguine. I have Murasaki admiring Izumi's most famous poem "Out of darkness" which was in fact included in the
