No. From Five Rings DB Developer ruling on Finger of Jade. http://www.fiveringsdb.com/cards/search?q=finger of jade


"Finger of Jade cancels the effects of an ability when they initiate (in step 6 ) only if attached character has already been chosen as a target (in step 5; the ability's text must use the word "choose" before the dash (–) in the ability's text).

Some abilities choose targets when the effects resolve (in step 7; "choose" is after the dash, e.g. Court Games , Shosuro Miyako ), at that point it is too late to cancel their initiation."
