From the Danbooru wiki
Stand power of Joseph Joestar from JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken. It manifests as multiple purple thorny vines that spawn from Joseph's hands.
Hermit Purple's vines are relatively weak, but they provide Joseph with considerable divination ability, enabling him to divine and materialize any type of information, such as an image, a location or even thoughts. Joseph has demonstrated that he can use the vines as ropes, whose movements he can control at will. It's length and resistance make it possible for Joseph to swing from place to place and tie someone up.
Name is based on The Hermit Tarot card of the Major Arcana.
