It was now the Third Month. The cherries were full in bloom. Princesses were seated at a Go board making the disputed cherry tree their stakes. They had quarreled since their childhood over whom the tree belonged to. They came out to the veranda as evening approached. The blinds were raised. Some ladies also joined them. Yugiri’s son, the lieutenant, came again to visit the son of the house. Finding an open gallery door, he peered inside. The divine beauty of his princess dazzled him.
