   The song has very beautiful lyrics and also a very interesting background. It was inspired by the "Tale of Genji", a masterpiece of Japanese literature from the early 11th century, written by the noblewoman and lady-in-waiting Murasaki Shikibu.

   I wrote an article with a translation of the lyrics and an explanation of the connection to the Tale of Genji.

     The Yamato taiko drummers made a great cover of GO!GO!7188's Ukifune. It's not just a cover of the song, the beautiful video is a homage to the original's animation video.Worth watching even if you don't know the song.
