| The Festival of the Cherry Blossoms |  |

The lady of that misty moon, remembering the encounter, was sunk in distress. She had to marry with the crown prince in the Fourth Month. Late in the Third Month, the Ministry of the Right held a wisteria banquet. He invited Genji to the festivities. His elegant dress dominated the other guests and his beauty outshone the blossoms. After playing the instruments, he went to a corner where the princess of the ministry stood pretending to be drunk. He tried to find out the owner of the fan. The voice who had replied to his poem was the lady’s.
