Kadokawa Manga Gakushuu Series: Manga Jinbutsu-den - Murasaki Shikibu · 角川まんが学習シリーズ まんが人物伝 紫式部
Murasaki Shikibu was born into the family of a skilled scholar of Chinese studies, though her social status was not high. In an era when women were expected to limit their learning to composing waka poetry, Shikibu devoted herself to Chinese studies and immersed herself in reading stories and diaries one after another. As she grew into an intelligent woman, she experienced marriage and separation, and eventually entered court life to serve Empress Akiko. How was The Tale of Genji, a work that has been read and passed down around the world for over a thousand years, written and brought into being? The Manga Jinbutsu-den series is a definitive biography manga that depicts how great figures spent their childhoods and went on to achieve remarkable accomplishments. (Source: Kadokawa, translated)
