Who is your favorite historical figure?

Dialogue

Anna: I love learning about history. I like to think about how people lived in the past.

Carlos: I do, too. Who is your favorite historical figure, Anna?

Anna: Good question, Carlos. I really admire Katsushika Hokusai.

Carlos: He was an artist, wasn’t he?

Anna: Yes, he was. I want to be an artist someday, too. Hokusai is one of the most famous ukiyo-e artists. He created many pictures of the city of Edo and Mount Fuji.

Carlos: Cool. Well, I want to be a writer someday. I think Murasaki Shikibu is really inspiring.

Anna: Why is that?

Carlos: She wrote The Tale of Genji, one of the world’s first novels.

Anna: Wow. That’s amazing.

Carlos: Yeah. Modern historians know a lot about Japanese culture in the Heian period because of her writing. That’s why I think she’s so interesting.
