Murasaki Shikibu "grave"

[edit]

"Near that grave is a grave marked Murasaki Shikibu, with a legend that it was placed there by the devil himself as punishment for lust (愛欲, aiyoku) for which Murasaki Shikibu descended to hell." uhhh what? Per Murasaki Shikibu's article it seems she was universally venerated even during her lifetime. Does anyone have some context for this? It's also not clear what this has to do with Takamura aside from being in the same cemetery. Walkersam (talk) 22:56, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
