Remarques & avis / Review — Here is one of our favorite series: the special issues of Taiyo (the Sun), a quarterly — fine and profuse iconography, good printing and paper, and always fascinating, varied and very 'Japanese' topics.
The present issue is dedicated to 54 picture scrolls of the Genji Monogatari, Murasaki Shikibu's famous literary work (11th c.), here presented as such for the first time. A magnificent issue.

Voici une de nos séries préférées : la collection spéciale du Taiyo (le Soleil) trimestriel — iconographie riche et de qualité, bonne facture, sujets variés et toujours passionnants, très "japonais".
Ce numéro est consacré aux 54 rouleaux peints du Dit de Genji, le célèbre roman (XIe s.) de Murasaki Shikibu, présentés ici ainsi pour la première fois. Un numéro magnifique.
