Omi-jo Genji Monogatari Himeemaki
Ishiyama-dera Temple in Otsu is known as the place where Murasaki Shikibu began writing 'The Tale of Genji.' The Japanese confectionery 'Genji Monogatari Himeemaki' is inspired by the world of that tale. Ishiyama-dera is an ancient temple founded in the Nara period, a sanctuary for female writers since the Heian era. The legend that Murasaki Shikibu gained inspiration for her story while gazing at the moon reflected on the lake's surface is still passed down today. Its beautiful packaging, reminiscent of an illustrated handscroll (emaki), conveys that elegant worldview. Opening the package feels like being invited into the graceful world of the Heian court. It is a sophisticated souvenir from Shiga, perfect to enjoy while reflecting on the scent of history and literature. It is also highly recommended as a gift for lovers of literature.
