I admire your tenacity! I tried finding something like that and for some reason I didn’t have any luck except for a few scattered chapters. When I decide to tackle it again I’ll just have to ask this sub for recommendations for a study guide.

The Tale of Genji. I read excerpts in college and loved it, so years later I decided to read it as an intro to Japanese literature. Unfortunately I chose to start with the Royall Tyler version since it’s regarded as the best, but I can’t follow much of what’s going on and gave up about halfway. Maybe someday I’ll start over with a different translation.
