Both are strikingly beautiful. Adaptations of historical tales about noblemen and their demise.

Anime: Kaguya-hime no Monogatari
Both are based on 1000 years old folklore and literature about Royalty (The tale of Genji and The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter) and both films have an animation style that evokes older Japanese paintings with a watercolor quality to the drawings.

Anime: Sarusuberi: Miss Hokusai
Both are historical movies in an autobiography-inspired style of storytelling. Both focus on iconic individuals in Japanese art and literature history. Both stories are grounded in reality but use surreal imagery as a storytelling device. Both feature Feudal Japan - Genji Monogatari takes place in Heisei period and Miss Hokusai during the Edo Period.

Anime: Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan - Tsuioku-hen
Though "Genji Monogatari" is more concerned about mystical powers, both anime have the similar feeling. Kenshin as well as Genji strugles hard to save the one he loves and fails just as Genji. Both stories are filled with love, politics and sadness.
