Overview# “Digital Genji Monogatari” is a site that aims to propose an environment to support research on The Tale of Genji as well as education and research activities using classical texts, by collecting and creating various related data about The Tale of Genji and linking them together.

One of the features provided by this site is the “alignment of the Collated Tale of Genji with modern Japanese translations.” As shown below, the corresponding sections between the “Collated Tale of Genji” and Yosano Akiko’s translation published on Aozora Bunko are highlighted.
This article explains the procedure for implementing the above functionality.
Data# The following type of data is created.
https://genji.dl.itc.u-tokyo.ac.jp/data/tei/koui/54.xml
anchor tags are used to map pairs of files and IDs from Yosano Akiko’s translation to the text data of the “Collated Tale of Genji.”

Unfortunately, it is not functional as of 2024-01-07, but you can see how it works in the following video. I plan to improve this tool in the future.

As a result of the above work, Google Documents like the following are created.

For each line of the “Collated Tale of Genji,” the corresponding Yosano Akiko translation ID is inserted in the format \[YG(\d+)\].
