The Origins of Genji Monogatari and Genji Monogatari Emaki (Genji-e Database Research Group Symposium)<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pictorial representations of Genji Monogatari<\/em> (The Tale of Genji<\/em>), known as Genji-e, have been created in great numbers from the Heian period to the present day. This research group seeks to provide a comprehensive view of the tradition of Genji-e as a whole and deepen our understanding of Genji-e and Genji culture through a sustained study of both the artworks and broader cultural practices that draw inspiration from and reinterpret Genji Monogatari. <\/em>This symposium brought together scholars with a wide range of specializations in Japanese and Chinese literary history and art history (Central Asia, China, and Japan) for presentations and discussions that explored the origins of Genji Monogatari<\/em> and its pictorial representations.<\/p>\n

The first part of the symposium focused on the origins of Genji Monogatari<\/em>. Presentations by SAS\u014c Mikiko (\u201cReception of Ch\u014dgonka<\/em> in Genji Monogatari<\/em>\u201d), NI Jindan (\u201cReception of Taketori Monogatari<\/em> in Genji Monogatari<\/em>\u201d), and KOND\u014c Sayaka (\u201cReception of Ise Monogatari<\/em> in Genji Monogatari<\/em>\u201d) shed light on how Genji Monogatari<\/em> engages with earlier literary texts. The second part shifted to the origins of Genji Monogatari<\/em> emaki, with presentations by MASUYA Tomoko (\u201cMonogatari-e [pictorial representations of stories] in Western Asia\u201d), YAMAMOTO Satomi (\u201cEast Asian Monogatari-e and Genji Monogatari<\/em> Emaki\u201d), and MASUKI Ry\u016bsuke (\u201cEast Asian Sansui-ga [landscape painting] and Sansui Expressions in Genji Monogatari<\/em> Emaki\u201d) that explored the tradition of Genji-e since the Heian period from the broader perspective of East Asian art history. Through a cross-cultural comparative approach, these presentations also sought to situate these traditions in relation to one another.<\/p>\n
