| Kazunomiya gave the Nishijin brocade with the following poem to the Zojo-ji Temple, and later the Nishijin brocade was made into Kesa (an oblong piece of ornamental cloth worn over the robe by a Buddhist priest) on the anniversary, "Even though I have this gorgeous Nishijin brocade Kimono, I would enjoy wearing it if you are still alive." |
和宮は「空蝉の 唐織り衣 なにかせん あやも錦も 君ありてこそ」の和歌を添えその西陣織を増上寺に奉納、のちに年忌の際、袈裟として仕立てられた。 |
