The Met Fifth Avenue
March 5–June 16, 2019
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.
