The Tale of Genji

by

Shikibu Murasaki

Koremitsu is one of Genji's personal attendants, whom he often sends on missions to find information on Genji's various lovers or to carry messages when Genji is trying to woo women. Koremitsu finds much of this annoying. He does accompany Genji into exile and is instrumental in helping Genji gather the information necessary to kidnap Murasaki.
