Title
Spring Shoots I (Wakana 1) Chapter 34 from the "Tale of Genji" inspired series "Murasaki Shikibu Genji Cards"
Description
Prince Mitsuuji stands proudly in a snow covered landscape. He is wearing a very ornately patterned kimono and his hair is tied up in a lobster tail topknot tied with a purple cord. Around him four other men are cowering with pained expressions. One is holding a large parasol above Prince Mitsuuji's head to keep the snow from him. Another of the men offers him a sword. In the background are snow covered mountains.
