"Genji Robes"
Genji Monogatari aficionados will enjoy a visit to this sometimes overlooked or unknown museum. A pivotal place in Murasaki Shikibu's novel was Lady Aoi's Rokujo (Palace). The palace was noted for its separate gardens for each of the four seasons. A Chubu University professor in the Department of Technology, Dr. Kozo Ike, designed the quarter-sized replica of the Rokujo. Historically correct Heian era lifestyles of the nobility have been reproduced in miniature. The clothing worn by the aristocracy, together with their furniture, provides glimpses into the eighth century.
