On the third day of his visit to Akshi, Genji moved to Katsura, because many court people had come over to Oi in search of him. An impromptu banquet was held. The voices of fishermen made him think of the sea women in Akashi. The young falconers offered a sampling of their take, tied to autumn reeds. Wine cups were tossed back and forth. People enjoyed poems and music. At the end, even the emperor delivered his personal message.
