On an autumn evening, Yugiri visited the Second Princess, Kashiwagi's wife. The mother of the Second Princess, Lady Ichijo, gave him a flute, which Kashiwagi had left. At night, Kashiwagi appeared in a dream of Yugiri’s and told him , "I did not mean it for you." Yugiri described his dream to Genji who took the flute, saying that he should be responsible for keeping it. Yugiri also described the moment of death of Kashiwagi, who had wanted Genji to apologize. It had not been a very satisfying answer for this apology from Genji.
