A^^ ABOARD J' OR SUNRISE LANDS. They have a great many books, and not only the men, but the ^omen, have cultivated a literary taste. There is a book highly ■esteemed in Japan Avhich was written by Murasaki Shikibu, a lady. She was asked to write some sketches, as the mother of the emperor wished for a fresh book ; and Mnrasaki resolved to attempt the task. " As the famous Chinese author, Shomei, when he wished to execute some literar}" work, put up a lofty building and then shut himself in it, ...she determined to imitate his example. At Ishiyama, from which one looks down upon the waters of Lake Biwa, a very high retreat was built for lier. In the moonlight, the waters glistened like glass, while the mountains rose up stately and grand. Murasaki retired to the spot, and there, alone with the moonlight, the water, and the mountains, she was so fired by a literary fever that in one night she WTote two chapters of the Genji Monogatari, a Jap- anese classic ; and the whole work she finished in a few weeks.
