I love being a courtier. I get to go to Noh and Kabuki plays- V.I.P of course. And I get to read original Buddhist scriptures. Yesterdy, the emperor's successor and I had an Ikebana lesson, Tomorrow, I am having a non-denominational tea ceremony.
However, the best part of being a courtier is the clothes! I get kimono's specially made for me. I even them died to my color liking. Overall, I live a privelaged life as a courtier, I hope that it goes on until I die!

PROFILE!!!
- Lady Murasaki Shikibu
- Kyoto, Japan
- I was born in 976, during the Heian period, My name- Murasaki- means "violet." I was born into the Fujiwara Clan. I wrote the first novel in the world, The Tale of Genji. It's kind of weird that I'm a writer because I'm female.Only men would get an education or be writers. But, my Great Grandfather was a poet, and so was my father- It's in my blood, I was married when I was twenty. My husband and I had a daugher in 999. But then tradgedy struck, two years later in 1001, my husband died. Since then I have finished my novel and moved to the palace. I have climbed the social ladder. Many years ago, I was just a high class girl. Now I am a courtier!
