The Jeweled Chaplet
Genji went to the little princess of Akashi on New Year’s Day. Her page girls and young servants were out on the hill busying themselves with seeding pine to learn the fortune of that year. The Akashi lady had sent over some New Year delicacies in bearded baskets and with them a warbler on a very cleverly fabricated cinquefoil pine branch. A poem was attached saying that she was waiting for the first warbler.
