Lady Murasaki says:Picture title: Yozakura no shita de chanoyu wo suru mitsūji
The troubled waters
are frozen fast.
Under clear heaven
moonlight and shadow
ebb and flow.
Answered by Prince Genji:
The memories of long love
gather like drifting snow,
poignant as the mandarin ducks
who float side by side in sleep.
Artist: Toyokuni Utagawa, 1786-1865
