The Tale of Genji's Penis

[frumpleswift]

So I was reading the Tale of Genji (well an abridged version) and I think I learned a few things about the Japanese from the book

TRUTH!!! Yay! Someone else is ranting about Genji's penis also!

And, just for the sake of randomness, isn't Kashiwagi the coolest name ever?

wasn't it written by a woman?

of course, my memory is really bad on these things. i'd also like to note that a strange related phenomena called "ketai deai" happens to women (incl. myself, once) in which men type in random cel phone numbers (all cell phones in japan have the same area either 080 or 090) and check to see if it's a girl and try to hook up with them....scarier than the ol' A/S/L pick-up on IM
