Strange how 2 of 3 faces show excellent workmanship, but the person on horse back has no face. I wonder if this was damaged at some point and repaired? Great pieces in my opinion!

Morning Ty.,

 

I would like to reference the fact that the woman depicted is riding a horse, which places her in high status.

 

Is perhaps this a reference to an event in Genji Monogatari?

 

Is the lady on the Horse meant to be one of the characters or a pun concerning Murasaki Shikibu herself?

 

Are the male faces deliberately defined and hers, mask like by intent?

 

 

Someone is getting a bit skillful with the Camera.......

 

Cheers
