At the beginning of the Second Month, Genji set out for Sanjo to inquire about Princess Omiya, who had been ill. At that moment, he told her everything: that the father of his adopted daughter Tamakazura was To-no-Chujo, the Minister of the Interior at present.. Surprised with this news, she called the minister who came over with his many children to see Genji. Genji told him about Tamakazura’s past and asked him to do the honor of tying the ceremonial apron for her. They laughed and wept and the earlier stiffness disappeared. It was very late when they went their separate ways.
