Title
Evening Mist (Yugiri) Chapter 39 from the "Tale of Genji" inspired series "Murasaki Shikibu Genji Cards"
Description
Prince Mitsuuji stands at the front of a wooden boat, leaning against its cabin as it skims across the water. His kimono is very decorative and he wears his hair in an ornate lobster tail topknot, fastened with purple cord. Behind him other similar boats can be seen in the distance, all heading in the same direction. It is early evening and a flock of wild geese are shown flying across the moon as it rises in the sky.
