"Yomogyu" (Weeds, Chapter 15) rendered as a variant of Ebina's other version of this chapter depicts the overgrown estate of the eccentric Suetsumuhana — the mugwort and wild plants that have overtaken the once-elegant garden during Genji's absence and inattention. The visual power of this subject — the beautiful, crumbling aristocratic estate swallowed by wild growth — carried deep resonance in the Japanese aesthetic tradition, connecting to the concept of aware (the pathos of impermanence) and the beauty found in things past their prime.
