On a snowy night, Genji visited the Princess Hitachi after a long interval. When the daylight came, he was surprised to see her. She was not at all beautiful, and was wearing an old-style dress, which was wrong for the young princess. The gate was ruined and leaning in the snow. The aged gatekeeper and his daughter tried to open the gate, but it took a long time to open it until his men pushed. He was extremely sorry for her and resolved to support her.
