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.
