Ink traces the flight of fireflies over a moonlit garden, their glow barely suggested by empty space. This quiet scene captures Genji’s fleeting romance—light without heat, presence without weight.

What does the absence of color reveal about the moment’s transience?

It was around #illustration 24 (Black Beard - representing the #TaleofGenji character Higekuro) that I decided I really wanted to make a #GenjiMonogatari card deck. I'm so happy I was able to see it through.

I was really impressed with The Game Crafter; the printing looks great and the cards have a protective UV coating and a lovely subtle linen texture. And I find the mint tin size so portable and charming!

~5 years and 55 #illustrations later, I turned all my #GenjiMonogatari illustrations into an #art/card deck! You can make groupings and play various #TaleOfGenji themed #games with it, enjoy the art as-is, or even use it as an inspirational tool by treating the visuals/text on the #cards as creative prompts.

Available at https://www.thegamecrafter.com/games/genjimonogatari - there’s a free downloadable PDF summarizing all cards, and includes ideas for games!

The #GenjiMonogatari series is my #ink and #watercolour project exploring #MurasakiShikibu’s characters and symbols. The idea is that you can make different groupings based on relationships and themes from #TaleOfGenji, and discover even more connections! For example, these are the ladies of the #seasons: Murasaki, Hanachirusato, Akikonomu, Akashi.

And there are multiple English translations of the Tale of Genji available - I did a comparison post a while back for anyone interested! I think there are a lot more comprehensive comparison articles out there now since I wrote this, but as a starting point: https://www.pillowfort.social/posts/2005969

(Also I'm noticing the #TaleOfGenji and #GenjiMonogatari tags seem to be a bit empty on Mastodon... 🤔 HMMM this needs to change 😤)
