Until April 7, 2024 (Sun.), "Yokikana Genji Monogatari" is being held at [Saga Arashiyama Bunka-kan].
Saga Arashiyama is one of the most famous sightseeing spots in Japan, deeply related to the "Tale of Minamoto", a long novel published in the middle of the Heian period (794-1185). Around Saga Arashiyama Bunkakan are the ruins of Minamoto no Toru's villa (Seiryo-ji Temple), which is said to have been the model for Hikaru Gen-son, Nomiya Shrine, where Hikaru Gen-son visited Rokujo-no-Osubosho, and Daikakuji Temple, which was located north of the hall that Hikaru Gen-son had built.
Japanese paintings that transcend the millennium are introduced with commentary on each scene.
