* TangledFamilyTree: Between the men having multiple lovers, the women having affairs or being raped, the multiple generations the tale covers, and the large, interrelated cast, good luck keep tracking of who is related in what way. Family trees of the major characters pretty much require lines to hop over other lines. Fujitsubo is previous emperor's daugther so, depending on if he was the reigning emperor father or brother, she is her husband's sister or niece and Genji's aunt or cousin. Murasaki is Fujitsubo's niece, making her Genji's cousin too.

* LikeParentLikeSpouse:
** It's implied that several of the women Genji admires remind him of his late mother, and this doesn't go without comment from the other characters. Also, his first lover is one of his father's concubines. A concubine who was chosen specifically because she reminded everyone - the Emperor, Genji's father, included - of Genji's late mother.
** This even initially applies to Murasaki herself, as she first came to Genji's attention because of her striking resemblance to Fujitsubo, the aforementioned concubine he's so obsessed with, who in turn reminds everyone of Genji's late mother.

* WifeHusbandry: Early in the story, Genji and some of his friends discuss the difficulty of finding the perfect woman, and conclude that perhaps the best thing to do is to raise her yourself.
