Murasaki Shikibu
I have always been fascinated with the idea that the first modern novel was written in 960 AD by a woman in Japan. Her name was Murasaki Shikibu. Along with my graphic design major I'm also working on an english major, so it's exciting to draw inspiration from one to the other. I'm going to portray her somewhat in the way that she is in this scroll drawing. I've done some research on scrolls at the MIA, and I'm excited to use mixed media with this project.
