--------------------------------- 
Wander with us through the ornate opulence of the ancient Heian period in Japan to meet Murasaki Shikibu, a lady-in-waiting of secret creativity that shines despite the strict societal customs of her time. Listen to timeless tales from a world of grand courtiers, provocative tales whispered through silk veils, and the gentle strumming of a koto carried on the wind. "The Tale of Genji", penned by Shikibu, is celebrated as one of the first novels in existence. This story comes alive with an honest portrayal of the human heart's capacity for desire & regret, shame & honour, love & loss. We explore the intricate societal structures, the politics of the court, and the introspective beauty of poetry and literature that thrived under the Heian era's refined cultural paradigm. Do not miss how Murasaki Shikibu, a quiet observer at the peripheries of sophisticated gatherings, dared to step beyond the narrow lanes of societal expectations, rewriting the pages of history to tell her story.
