This is the first major loan exhibition in North America to focus
on the artistic tradition inspired by Japan's most celebrated work of
literature, The Tale of Genji. Written by Murasaki Shikibu, a
lady-in-waiting in the early eleventh-century imperial court, and often
referred to as the world's first psychological novel, the tale recounts
the amorous escapades of the "Shining Prince" Genji and introduces some
of the most iconic female characters in the history of Japanese
literature.

Zhou Yu's Train (simplified Chinese: 周渔的火车; traditional Chinese: 周漁的火車; pinyin: zhōu yú de huǒchē) is a 2002 Chinese film directed by Sun Zhou, and starring Gong Li and Tony Leung Ka-Fai.
Synopsis:
The story is set in Chongyang (Hubei province, China)
and Sanming (Fujian province).
Zhou Yu, a ceramics artist from Sanming falls in love with the poet Chen
Qing, who lives in Chongyang, a town several hundred kilometers from
Sanming. During the train trips between Sanming and Chongyang, she also
meets Zhang Qiang, a veterinary surgeon.
Gong Li plays two characters who only differ by their hair
styles, namely Zhou Yu and the short-haired Xiu. The film is pieced
together with many flashbacks in no particular chronological order. The
relationship between the two women is unclear until the end of the film.
