| A pictorial subject taken from "The First Warbler"
(or more literally "The First Song"), Chapter 23 of GENJI MONOGATARI Ή¨κ
(The Tale of Genji). This very short chapter centers around an exchange of New
Year's greetings between Genji and the ladies of the Rokujou Zπ Mansion (see *Otome
³): Lady Murasaki (Murasaki no Ue Μγ), the Akashi Lady (Akashi no Ue ΎΞΜγ, see
Matsukaze Ό), the Lady of the Orange Blossoms (*Hanachirusato
ΤU’), *Tamakazura Κι‘, the Safflower
Lady (*Suetsumuhana EΤ),
and the Lady of the Locust Shell (*Utsusemi
σδ). A frequently illustrated scene shows Genji receiving New Year delicacies
in "bearded baskets" (higeko EU, baskets with the ends of the woven strands
left untrimmed) and a warbler (uguisu §) on an artificial pine branch,
sent over by the princess's mother, the Akashi Lady . Attached to the branch is
a letter with a poem telling of her loneliness. Hatsune motifs on craft objects
were popular because of their auspicious, new-beginning symbolism. The elaborate
lacquered furnishings of Tokugawa Chiyohime's ΏμηγP trousseau, called "Hatsune
no choudo ΉΜ²x" (1639; Tokugawa Ώμ Museum) are well-known for their decoration.
