Truly, as it is said, those who accumulate hidden virtue will surely receive their reward in the open.
Here again, in the domain of Lord Makino of Komoro, in a place called Mochizuki, renowned for its name, there lived a filial wife who was no less virtuous than the legendary Lady Tang of China. She was a descendant of a retainer named Sunohara something-or-other, who served the former lord of the ancient Mochizuki Castle, and had become the wife of a man named Shinzaemon. However, a drifter living nearby tried to disturb and mislead her heart, and this was composed as an autumn verse.
Within this land there was one man. Though originally of distinguished lineage, his household was poor, with two young children — a boy and a girl — and he was supporting his blind mother. Over these past two years, the harvests had been bad, and...
