Genji — The Japanese Tale

14-Panel World Mythology Poem
Genji — The Japanese Tale

Drawing from Murasaki Shikibu's 11th-century masterpiece, Brad Reinhold's Genji is an original poem sequence following the arc of the Shining Prince — beauty, impermanence, desire, and the mono no aware that saturates every Japanese art form: the ache of things that must pass, rendered in 14 panels of sustained lyric verse.
