Rozan-ji （廬山寺）Temple and Site of the Residence of Lady Murasaki Shikibu, Kyoto City
Rozan-ji Temple (廬山寺) is located in Kyoto City. Lady Mursaki Shikibu, the author of "Tale of Genji (Genji Monogatari)", is one of the great ancient novelists of the Heian period, lived all her life here in the precincts of the Rozanji Temple. Lady Mursaki's great grandfather, Lord Fujiwara Kanesuke, built a mansion which was known as the mansion of Tsutsumi-chunagon and it was here that she was brought up, led a blissful wedded life, gave birth to an only child and finally in 1031 ended her days at the age of about 59. "Tale of Genji" is considered first novel of the ancient literature. The Rozanji temple itself was built in the year 938 on a hill called Funaokayama situated at the northern outskirs of Kyoto by a great Buddhist priest of eminent sanctity, Ganzan-Daishi. This temple directly belonged to the Imperial Court and it does so even today. Inside the walls of the main prayer hall, there is a photo of Dr. Arthur Waley, a British translator who first translated "Tale of Genji" from Japanese to English and a certificate from British Museum regarding this translation.

The film tells the story of a man and his epic journey through life meeting historical figures, influencing popular culture and experiencing first-hand historic events of the 20th century while being largely unaware of their significance, due to his borderline mental retardation. The film differs substantially from the book on which it was based.
