Shincho Sensho / What is the "Essence of Jealousy" as Murasaki Shikibu, an unfortunate and talented woman, has an insight into the "nature of jealousy"? Murasaki Shikibu fell from a high court noble in her grandfather's time, lost her husband, became a Fujiwarano Michinaga's "hand maid" and became a private tutor for her daughter. In the story that she began to write in search of "Another Life" with a "sense of downfall," she describes the intense jealousy swirling around the class society. A popular classic essayist reads Murasaki Shikibu's hidden message in The Tale of Genji.
