The portrait of the glorious prince world, Ivan Morris' acclaimed ancient Japanese grand, relatives, depressed world was a standard of cultural research for almost 30 years.

Based on the main literary works of the Heian era including "The Tale of Genji", "the world of the Queen" is a reproduction of the era when women establish cultural tone. Focusing on the imperial court world - Virginia Woolf's highly admired world, other famous Japanese history and literary man Ivan Morris is concerned about the political, social, religious life and superstition of this era Discuss

Ivan Morris wrote in "The World of the Prince of Glory: Ancient Japanese Court Life": "The procedure for issuing imperial law provides an example of a peaceful bureaucratic defamation.The State Council proposed We will revise it as a national document drafted in Chinese as well as the emperor 's secretary, after the emperor has read it, he will automatically approve and empire himself (The year and month entered by the secretary), then the draft will be sent to the central ministry, after the minister acknowledges the Emperor, we will examine the document and write it as a kanji under the official title " It was marked as approval.

There is a book titled "The Prince of Glory" which is talking about court life in that era. This is nonfiction, but I like to read it and understand the times. Also, if you are interested in the early days of the Heian era, you should try Tosa diary. The Tale of Genji may be the most famous story of the Heian period. The other major works I know are mainly the historical novels of contemporary writers, a story of Murasaki in the Heian period.
