Lady Murasaki

2008 mixed media
Foolish indeed are those who trust to fortune.

- Lady Murasaki Shikibu (approximately 973 – 1025)


She was a Japanese noblewoman who kept a diary for years.

She is considered to be one of the world’s earliest novelists.

Every woman needs to keep a diary. Writing is as necessary as breathing – at least for me.
