On a quiet moonlit night in the Fourth Month, he could see the Awaji Island in front of his new residence. The sea was like the familiar water of his garden in the city. He took the seven-stringed koto, long neglected. The monk, who was conducting his practice in the temple and his daughter, Akashi Princes who lived in the hills, were moved by the sound. Casting aside his beads, he came running to the main house. Sending to the house on the hill for a lute and a thirteen-stringed koto, he played with Genji together. Until late at night they played the instruments. The old man told the story of his past and asked Genji to marry his daughter.
