The Murasaki Shikibu statue in Uji, Kyoto, Japan, is located at the Yume Floating Bridge Square on the west side of the Uji Bridge. It is a statue built to commemorate the famous female writer Murasaki Shikibu of the Heian period and her masterpiece The Tale of Genji. The Murasaki Shikibu statue is about 1.8 meters tall and is made of stone covered with bronze. It shows her sitting upright with a scroll and gazing at the Uji River, as if she is contemplating the story she wrote. The remaining ten scrolls of The Tale of Genji are called the "Uji Jujo" and the story is set in the Uji area, which makes the city have a deep connection with Murasaki Shikibu's literary works. Therefore, Uji City not only built the Murasaki Shikibu statue, but also launched the "Uji Charm Promotion Project for Murasaki Shikibu-related Cities" to promote the cultural heritage of this literary giant. The Uji River, Uji Bridge, Byodoin Temple and other attractions around the Murasaki Shikibu statue together form a picture scroll that combines natural beauty with literary atmosphere. The cherry blossoms in spring and the red leaves in autumn add poetic charm to the area every year, attracting many tourists to pay tribute to Murasaki Shikibu and experience the charm of The Tale of Genji.
