Did you know that the first novel in the world was produced by a Japanese noblewoman?

Back in ancient times, the Japanese depended on Chinese characters (kanji) to write all sorts of documents and manuscripts, ranging from official letters to census records and poetry. It was only during the Heian period (794-1185 CE) that they began to create their very own writing system known today as kana.
While men from the higher social classes would often stick to kanji when producing literary works, kana was mainly used by noblewomen. The most prominent author of the Heian period is known as Murasaki Shikibu, an imperial lady-in-waiting who was responsible for producing the world's first novel called Genji Monogatari, or The Tale of Genji. The novel also provides a detailed insight into the lives and culture of the Japanese people during that era.
