Here is also the picture series Genji Ekagamichō ( 源氏 絵 鑑 帖 ) by the painter Tosa Mitsunori from the Edo period , each of which illustrates one of the Uji chapters. The film Hashihime: Nyonintachi no kokoro no take ( 橋 姫 女人 た ち の 心 の 丈 ), produced especially for the museum, will be shown in the film hall . The exhibition is completed by a large amount of background information, for example on Murasaki Shikibu and Michinaga Fujiwara , which is presented in the Monogatari room.
