Genji Emaki Monogatari

For an Arts and Sciences competition category, For a Love, I decided to look in to the novel Genji Monogatari, seen as the worlds first novel by the female writer and poet, Murasaki Shibiku. I have chosen to base this off the 12th century manuscript of the work.

This manuscript uses both gold and silver leaf as well as gold and silver mica dust. I attempted to imitate that using some dyed paper.
