I have (finally!) had occasion to read The Tale of Genji with the sort of attention that the work deserves.

And because I apparently can’t help making these sorts of cross-media connections, It occurred to me that Apple Blossom from The White Stripes’ “De Stijl” album makes an eerily good Genji/Murasaki song.

What do you, the viewers at home, think?
