Japan in the early seventeenth century was a wild place. Serial killers stalked the streets of Kyoto at night, while noblemen and women mingled freely at the imperial palace, drinking saké and watching kabuki dancing in the presence of the emperor's principal consort.

The present essay is an attempt to account for this spate of new editions and to explain why scholars of Japanese literature suddenly decided to expend so much energy editing, explicating and otherwise endeavouring to rescue Genji from obscurity.
