Murasaki Shikibu Park

Murasaki Shikibu lived in Kyoto most of her life.
The one time she left the Ancient capital, she lived in Echizen City.
In the park there is a golden statue of Shikibu, and a Shinden-Zukuri style garden, which was a style of garden typical in the residences of nobles during the Heian era, was reproduced here.
