Bamboo River


The New Year came and there was caroling. Kaoru was named master of one of the two choruses and Yugiri’s son lieutenant was among the musicians. There was a cloudless moon when they were at the Reizei palace. The carolers felt the keen eyes of the audience peering from inside. On the following day, Kaoru was engaged in conversation with the new lady at a gallery door. "Bamboo River is not my favorite song, But somewhat striking, its effect last night." Responding to her, he was in tears, which brought him back to his lost love.
