Picture Scroll Chocolate
Valentine's Day chocolate from Murasaki Shikibu.
An assortment of stylishly painted chocolates. The images look like scenes taken from "The Tale of Genji," depicting noble men and women of the Heian period.
According to Murasaki Shikibu, some sort of gimmick of the onmyoudou variety is infused into these chocolates. At least she says it's not a curse...
...Let's just try a bite.
