The artwork is delivered via the offices of the Crane Ambassador as a gift to the Dragon Clan Champion.
It consists of a triptych of twelve standing panels, each representing a month of the year. The first panel shows the heart of winter, as represented by a painting of a bear sheltering its cub in the snow. The second shows a forest cloaked with snow, a dull red sun shining over it, the only life a fox darting through the branches. The panels proceed to gradually brighten, showing farming, festivals, birth, each one with no central focus, simply a vista of Rokugani life as seen from the eye of a kami. As summer passes their colours once more become somber, with autumn bonfires, and then winter closes in once more, the final panel depicting a funeral pyre burning next to a frozen lake, attended only by seven mourners, their gazes cast away from one another as if afraid to meet their eyes.
It is entitled "Balance" and signed with the chop of Doji Hyuu.
