Spring Shoots II (Wakana 2) Chapter 35 from the "Tale of Genji" inspired series "Murasaki Shikibu Genji Cards"
Description
A Japanese lady in a kimono sits in a palanquin by the edge of a stormy river. Her kimono is covered with flowers; she wears a floral headdress and also appears to be holding a sword. The rain is battering down and a tree is swaying in the wind. A warrior in black clothing stands beside the palanquin and illuminates the face of the woman with his torch. He is carrying two swords and his face is covered.
