Early in the Fourth Month, the Minister of the Interior (To-no-Chujo) arranged a banquet of wisteria, which was full in bloom. He invited Yugiri. The Minister had begun to grow restless when finally Yugiri arrived. When the moon came out, the wine was served. Pretending to be very drunk, the Minister admired Yugiri who had waited long and well to obtain permission to marry his daughter, Kumoinokari. The long-standing ill feeling between them disappeared. Kashiwagi broke off an unusually long and rich spray of wisteria and presented it to Yugiri with a cup of wine. That was a romantic happy ending for Yugiri and Kumoinokari who had been separated for six years.
