This piece is based on “Genji-moyō Furisode Hinagata,” a kabuki adaptation of the novel "Nise Murasaki Inaka Genji" (which itself is based on the older novel "Tale of Genji"). Morning glories bloom on the bamboo fence in the garden, and their petals are drawn large like stage props. An iris is planted in a basin on the porch.
