Description:
From the series, "Setsu Getsu Ka" (Snow Flower Moon), one of Chikanobu's best series. "Yamashiro" no.14. Snow at Rokuhara. Daijo Nyudo Jokai (Priest Jokai who is equivalent to the prime minister). Jokai which was the Buddhist name of Taira Kiyomori, was viewing the snowy garden of his palace. Perhaps a fit of imagination from his consciousness, all the snow covered trees and rocks started to look like the skeletal remains of the people that he had killed.
