Patronage


We have been very fortunate that our project has been underwritten by the generosity of the Fujiwara family. Lady Murasaki has been a strong supporter of the arts and has provided not only funding but intellectual support. The project was authorized in order to provide illustrations to coincide with the narrative for her literary piece. Lady Murasaki’s input, including the content and visuals she would like to see portrayed have been carried out to the highest degree. It is important for Lady Murasaki to highlight the positive developments in her life through the delicate colors and images which we are certain will be to her liking. A team of artists spent months working according to her wishes and have created a fluent, vibrant piece that sets the standards above what anyone has accomplished thus far.

This one of a kind novel will be not only be cherished though out history but will also be a historical reference to life at court. (Ballew)
