The ancient Japanese legend, The Tale of Genji, written by the Lady Murasaki in the early 11th Century as entertainment for the Empress Akiko, is thought by many to be the world's first true novel. It is an intricate tale of passion and romance, politics and intrigue, religion and philosophy, frailty and dignity. Like a breeze through an open window into a bygone world, Shoyeido's Story of Genji series evokes the essence of The Tale of Genji.
Limelight (Shina-sadame) contains four delicate and refined, but evocative scents (5 sticks of each) and a bio-degradable holder. Each stick has a burning time of approximately 20 minutes.
