The Third Princess, a character from The Tale of Genji (ukiyo-e by Suzuki Harunobu, ca. 1766). The characters of The Tale of Genji do not possess birth names. Instead they are assigned sobriquets derived from poetic exchanges (e.g. Murasaki takes her name from a poem by Genji), from the particular court positions they occupy (in the Tyler translation, characters are often referred to by such ...
Close-up on purple-reddish blooms and blue flowers of the Murasaki flower or purple gromwell. Murasaki no Ue's name remains a pseudonym, as due to court manners of the author's time (the Heian period, 794–1185), it was considered unacceptably familiar and vulgar to freely address people by either their personal or family names; within the novel, the character herself, too, is unnamed, as ...
