Thank you so much for this! I am getting so much out of your essays, these are all things i don’t know about the culture of the period and they give so much depth to reading Genji. Really enjoying these essays, please keep going!

This is extraordinary performance! And the music! Thank you so much for posting this. I feel the music resonating in my very bones. Your description of life in Loyang brings its sophistication to life.

Lovely essay. Doesn't Loyang sound like a wonderful place to have lived! I was waiting for the sashiko mention, and you delivered!
