Tomita Isao (冨田勲) is an acclaimed music composer, known for his pioneering work on electronic and space music. In 1998 He composed an interesting piece called Genji Monogatari Symphony (源氏物語幻想交響絵巻) inspired by the classic novel The Tale of Genji (源氏物語 Genji Monogatari) written by the noblewoman Murasaki Shikibu (紫式部) in the early 11th century. The novel's significance to Japanese literature is comparable to what Shakespeare's works are to the English literature.
