In the Third Month, the ceremony of the fiftieth day was taking place. The child was elegant and charmingly different from other children. Looking at the face of child, Genji shed tears for Kashiwagi, who had not lived to see his own son. He wept for the boy who had to bear the burden of such a secret in his future. Genji felt sorry for himself too who held in his hands a son not his own, at his old age.
