In Genjimonogatari, a sense of color in case related to characters represents their appearance and inner side and status in the work. A style of expression of a group of women with chain of colors contributes to making a long work and forming a subject over each individual's status. In Genjimonogatari a winter jasmine(yamabuki) means regret for fancy beauty and love, lost love of nobles and it is the best symbolic expression of Tamakazura. And so sharing the same expression of Tamakazura and Oigimi, his daughter, reveals the similarity of the two. The picture of Takegawa suggests Kurodo shosho's peeping at a scene of playing go of Tamakazura's daughters. Generally peeping symbolizes an intrusion and the power of owenership of woman by man and functions as main mechanism of developing Monogatari story. But the function of peeping in Takegawa was nullified as Kurodo shosho himself abandoned intrusion of his eyes. The picture is characterized by arrangement of yellow as color of clothes which is drawn from a winter jasmine, the common expression of Tamakazura and Oigimi. This means in Takegawa, the priority is given not to Kurodo shosho's peeping but to the meaning of Oigimi's marriage and eventually the intention of revealing the status of Oigimi as a substitution(Yukari) for Tamakazura is embedded in it. In other words, it is thought that the similarity of the fate of mother and daughter. In summary, Genjimonogatari and Genjimonogatari Emaki shares sencs of color, it is based on the painter's consciousness and design of selecting a scene which is revealed from understanding and acceptance on text.
