Hashimoto's 14 volumes of Yōhen Genji mono
gatari [The Transformed Tale of Genji]: He spent three years retelling the story as a confessional from Prince Genji’s soul, adding scenic grandeur that is not explicitly existent in the original text but that can be detected from the ancient writing.
The archaic Japanese language has a seemingly
magical capability to convey more meaning
than the words themselves express. Few Japanese
today value this tradition, but Hashimoto has made elucidating the delicacy, precision, and beauty that
Japan’s language once embraced a part of his lifework.
