Hahakigi (箒木).
Kunichika`s "Fifty-four Modern Feelings" reimagines the chapters of The Tale of Genji, adapting them to Meiji society.
"Hahakigi" is the second chapter of The Tale of Genji and portrays Hikaru Genji`s encounter with Utsusemi, a lower-ranking court lady. Though
already married, she resists Genji`s advances and ultimately evades him, symbolizing unattainable love and social disparity. The chapter also
explores Genji`s admiration for Fujitsubo and his struggles with his wife Aoi.
