After the meeting of the New Year, Genji visited the Princes Hitachi feeling sorry for her. But her red nose emerged in profile, which discouraged him again. Back at Nijo, his Murasaki was pretty indeed. He asked himself why he sought other woman when he had lovely Murasaki at home. She was drawing sketches. Genji also drew a lady with a red nose and painted his nose red as well.
