Sleepy History: The World of 'The Tale of Genji'

Sleepy History: The World of 'The Tale of Genji'

Drift off to sleep with a gentle, 2-hour journey into the elegant, absurd, and beautiful world of Heian-era Japan. In this sleepy history tale, you are a new lady-in-waiting at the Imperial Court in Heian-kyō (ancient Kyoto), a world of crushing social pressure and breathtaking aesthetic refinement.

Tonight, we'll experience life as a work of art. We will be dressed in the impossibly heavy jūnihitoe (twelve-layer robe), learn the strange art of blackening our teeth, engage in a high-stakes poetic duel with the Empress, and witness the quiet genius of literary legends like Sei Shōnagon and Murasaki Shikibu. This is a calming narrative designed to help you unwind, relax, and fall asleep.

If you enjoy these gentle journeys into the past, please consider liking and subscribing. And let me know in the comments where you're listening from tonight!

Sweet dreams,
The Sleepy Historian
