The Maiden
Genji was this year to provide a dancer for the Gosechi dances at the harvest festival, in the Eleventh month. The prettiest and talented girls were selected for the Lord's inspection. Genji ordered a final rehearsal for the presentation at court. He had chosen one of Koremitsu's daughters among them. The glimpse of Koremitsu's daughter had excited Yugiri. He delivered her a love letter, which amused Koremitsu. (Koremitsu is one of Genji's closest servants.)
