"The Imperial Visit" (Miyuki) is Chapter 29 of The Tale of Genji, depicting the elaborate ceremonial excursion (miyuki) of the Emperor to view the autumn leaves at Genji's newly completed Rokujō-in palace complex — a visit that marks the peak of Genji's worldly power and social triumph. The imperial procession, with its pageantry and spectacle, frames Genji as a quasi-imperial figure in his own right, the maker of a miniature court that mirrors and rivals the official one. Ebina's print captures the grandeur of the imperial visit against the autumnal splendor of the Rokujō-in.
