The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- She was best known as the author of The Tale of Genji, widely considered to be one of the world's first novels, written in Japanese between about 1000 and 1012.
- Murasaki Shikibu is a descriptive name, her personal name is unknown, but she may have been Fujiwara no Kaoruko, who was mentioned in a 1007 court diary as an imperial lady-in-waiting.
- Heian women were traditionally excluded from learning Chinese, the written language of government, but Murasaki, raised in her erudite father's household, showed a precocious aptitude for the Chinese classics and managed to acquire fluency.
Why it is Uncommon

ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 78 and blocks with 100: each hit it takes is cut by 40 %.
