The Tale of Genji is the pinnacle of Heian literature, beloved for over a thousand years.

A gem of a coloring book has been created by carefully selecting 30 of the beautiful flowers that adorn the story, and adding furnishings from the Heian period.

The delicate model, drawn by Michi Imai, an artist who has also worked on the popular Coloring Book of Flower Language and Flower Encyclopedia, and colored with colored pencils, will make you feel rich just by looking at it. Tips on how to color are also explained, so you can color it beautifully.

The pages that you color yourself are accompanied by excerpts from the original text of the Tale of Genji (waka poems, etc.) and a modern translation, so when you finish coloring, you will have a wonderful work full of the Heian period atmosphere. You can also frame it and display it in your room.

At the end of the book, there is a character relationship chart and a synopsis of the Tale of Genji, so you don't need to know much about the Tale of Genji!

You can feel the elegant culture of the time by looking at the list of "Kasane no Irome" (rules for matching kimono colors that were popular among Heian aristocrats), which are named after plants.

This is a great book that you can enjoy twice or even three times over!
