Do you know who was genji monogatari?

Answer 1

Genji, a son of the Japanese emperor, also known as Hikaru Genji, or the Shining Genji. Neither appellation is his actual name. Genji is simply another way to read the Chinese characters for the real-life Minamoto clan, to which Genji was made to belong. For political reasons, Genji is relegated to commoner status and begins a career as an imperial officer.

Answer 2

"Genji Monogatari" is not a person's name. It's the title of a book. "Monogatari" means a tale. The English title is "The Tale of Genji." It's credited as being the first novel ever written. Your first answer tells you who Genji is.

Genji Monogatri is not a name of any person but it is a great classical tale of Japanese Litrature.
See the details --

The Tale of Genji (The Genji Monogatari) is the great classic of Japanese literature. It was being written in the first years of the 11th century (so just a thousand years ago) by a lady at court, Murasaki Shikibu, and runs to 1200 pages in English translation. There are now two full translations, one, published beginning in 1929, by Arthur Waley, the second, published in 1976, by Edward Seidensticker. It is frequently called the first great novel in world literature, for it is prose narrative, but laced with waka, as that was presented as almost the standard courtly medium of dialogue. The first two thirds of the book are the story of Genji, the "Shining Prince," opening with his experience as a young lover, as he moves from one woman to another. Then, as Genji grows older, the book does deal with more extended relationships, particularly with his second wife, Murasaki, and with his political fortunes--both out of power, in exile, and in power. As a hero, Genji is not a fighter, comes before the samurai warrior ideal makes its entry into Japanese literature, a few hundred years later He is a dancer, a singer, a poet--a man of all arts--and, above all, a lover. And the book as a whole is not "The Tale of Genji." Two-thirds of the way through the book, chapter 42 opens with the sentence "Genji is dead," and the central character in the last third is Kaoru, thought to be Genji's son, but actually the son of his friend Kashiwagi. The book is not structured as most Western novels are, for, while generally chronological, and while one complication does lead to another, for a Western reader there seems to be relatively little attention given to plot--the author is interested in her characters (as Kawabata still is). But its narrative substance, and, above all, that glorious Heian milieu, have provided the story material and characters for much of the important fiction and drama that has followed in the thousand years of Japanese literature since it was written.
