The Tale of Genji Museum
The Tale of Genji Museum is in Uji, Kyoto, Japan. It displays the world of the Japanese classic novel The Tale of Genji with projected images, models, and exhibitions. The culture of the Imperial Court of the Heian Period, the aristocrats’ costumes and the furnishings of their residences are shown here.
The last ten chapters of The Tale of Genji are set in Uji; the hero is Kaoru Genji (a son of Hikaru Genji). The story of these chapters is reproduced with great realism using a scrim and life-sized set. Visitors are introduced to the story line and main characters. A short film based on the Ten Uji Chapters and created solely for the museum is presented in the movie room.
