#JufuteiRaden #hololive #ReGLOSS

The original manuscript of The Tale of Genji, written by Murasaki Shikibu, does not survive.
They say it probably burned.
And yet the tale lived on — as manuscript copies, as illustrated handscrolls, even as a bridal trousseau —
and has come down to us 1,000 years later.

This is from the stream where Raden announced she had become a Special Supporter of the special exhibition 「源氏物語 王朝のかがやき」(The Tale of Genji: Radiance of the Court).
