The #GenjiMonogatari series is an #ink and #watercolour project exploring #MurasakiShikibu’s characters and symbols. The idea is that you can make different groupings of the images based on relationships and themes from #TaleOfGenji, and discover even more connections! For example, these are the ladies of the #seasons: Murasaki, Hanachirusato, Akikonomu, Akashi.
