Filming for the 2024 taiga drama ``Hikaru Kimi e'' has already begun in Kyoto from May 28th. As you can imagine from the title, the main character is Murasaki Shikibu.
Therefore, we can imagine that the world of The Tale of Genji is being depicted.
There is no doubt that in 2024 there will be a slight "Tales of Genji" boom.
I encountered the Tale of Genji more than 80 years ago.
There is a person who was fascinated by this charm and even acquired Japanese nationality as a result.
That person is Donald Keene, an American-born Japanese literature researcher and translator.
Mr. Keene introduced many Japanese literatures overseas, including The Tale of Genji.
He can be said to be a great benefactor to Japan.
2023 is the 100th anniversary of Keene's birth.
In this video, we express our heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Keene, who played an irreplaceable role as a bridge between Japan and the world during his lifetime, and trace his accomplishments.
Let's take a closer look at the reason why Mr. Keene even obtained Japanese citizenship.
