Millennium of Genji

―I found that the home of Google
　Japan is a bit strange today
☜
　because of the image on the logo.
　I clicked it and the page turned to
　the search result of "The Tale of Genji".
―This year is the 1000th anniversary of the "Genji"
　and many celebratory events are scheduled this autumn.
―I wonder if the tale reflects the real life 1000 years ago.
　Their clothes and their houses are so extravagant.
　I feel even in 1000 years future we could not live in
　so luxurious. It seems a kind of fantasy.
―What is the most tremendous is that every man and
　woman in the tale exchange their feeling of love
　in so delicate way that if you don't have the knowledge
　of nature, history or poem, you can never understand
　what they are really talking about.
―It is very difficult for such kind of people like us
　who easily condemn one's dear like "Damn, you bitch!".
