Hahakigi, Chapter 2 - Charming image of Prince Genji relaxing in a garden pavilion, awaiting a visit from a beauty. He plays a flute as the young woman pauses outside the door, smiling back over her shoulder at her companions, who hide behind the fence at left. She wears a black kimono bordered with pink blossoms and tiny leaves, tied with a light brown brocade obi. A dipper rests across a stone water basin at left, next to a flowering yamabuki shrub, and panels patterned with cherry blossoms and clouds line the room at right. An attractive design, nicely detailed with burnishing in the black kimono.
