The new grand Rokujo mansion was finished. Lady Murasaki, Akikonomu, the lady of orange blossoms and Lady Akashi moved in. Genji lived with Murasaki in the southeast quarter, where spring blossoming trees and bushed were planted in large number. The hills were high and the lake was most ingeniously designed. Planted in the forward parts of the garden were cinquefoil pines, maples, cherries, wisteria, yamabuki and rock azalea, most of them spring season trees and shrubs. Touches of autumn too were scattered through the grove.
