Genji prepared a residence for Akashi lady at Oi villa whose scenery had the same taste of the seashore of Akashi. The garden water was pleasant and interesting. But Genji did not visit her soon. With little to occupy her, the lady felt sorrow and missed her home. Taking out the seven-stringed Chinese koto that Genji had left with her, she played a brief strain to the wind in the pine trees. As her mother resting beside her made a poem of Akashi, the lady replied with a poem.
