1 A pictorial subject taken from "Matsukaze" ("The Wind in the Pines"), Chapter 18 of Genji monogatari 源氏物語 (The Tale of Genji). In this chapter, Genji installs the Akashi Lady (see *Akashi 明石) in the capital and they decide that the girl born to them (later Empress Akashi) will be adopted and raised by Murasaki (see *Wakamurasaki 若紫), because of the Akashi Lady's low provincial status. Scenes chosen for illustration include: Genji, on his way back to the Katsura 桂 villa; parting from his baby daughter and the Akashi Lady; and an open-air banquet at Katsura, where Genji is offered small game-birds tied to autumn reeds. See *Genji-e 源氏絵.
2 Pictorial subject matter taken from a *Noh 能 play of the same name by Kan'ami 観阿弥 (1333-84) that treats the exile of Ariwara no Yukihira 在原行平 (818-93) to Suma 須磨, because of his purported affair with two sisters, Matsukaze and Murasame 村雨. See *shiokumi 汐汲み.
