A pictorial subject based on the "Flares" Kagaribi, Chapter 27 of Genji monogatari 源氏物語 (The Tale of Genji). Illustrations chosen for this chapter include: Genji giving lessons on the koto 琴 (Japanese zither) to *Tamakazura 玉鬘 on a summer evening lit by a flare underneath a spindle tree that arches over a brook in the garden below; or slightly later in the same place with *Yūgiri 夕霧, *Kashiwagi 柏木, and his brother who have joined them for a concert.
