The Tale of Genji
An eroticized adaptation of Murasaki Shikibu's classic novel, written over 1000 years ago. Genji, the emperor's son, has gained renown among Kyoto's nobility for his charm and good looks, but he can't stop himself from pursuing the one object of desire he must never obtain: his father's young and beautiful bride. Following the tragic consequences of his obsession, Genji drifts from one affair to the next, always seeking some sort of closure in his life.
