Artist's commentary
Genpei Senbei
Gift from Taira-no-Kagekiyo.
Is it a gift from Kagekiyo? Or is it a gift from Yoshitsune?
After an exhaustive discussion and a great deal of agonizing, she came to the conclusion that it might as well be a gift which incorporates both the Genji and Heike motifs...which is how she ended up with this. Ah, both the Genji and Heike...a GenPei motif! Let's enjoy it.
