"Prayer Offering" (Minorite) appears here as a variant or alternate rendering of Chapter 40 — Murasaki's death — one of the most emotionally demanding subjects in Ebina's Genji series. The multiple renderings of the same chapter suggest Ebina found this moment too rich and too important to capture in a single composition, returning to it with different approaches. Whether focusing on the ritual of prayer offerings at the deathbed, the figure of the dying Murasaki, or the grief-stricken Genji, each rendering explores a different facet of the chapter's devastating beauty.
