NihontoWatchNihontoWatchFlowers and fruits of the yugao vine decorate the area around a shitajimado. This work brings to mind the "Yugao" chapter of the Genji Monogatari. These are the flowers that were blooming in the scene where Hikaru Genji meets Yugao, who, despite being the beloved of To no Chujo, hid herself among the common people after suffering from the jealousy of his legal wife. The mimi of the thick tetsu-ji kaku-gata is encircled by a chūya fukurin of twisted rope pattern in gin and shakudo.
