The title comes from the waka poems, 'a cricket under the grass waiting for the autumn might feel silly about butterflies in a flower garden' and ' I was longing to be invited by the butterflies, if there were not a yamabuki fence there,' to be exchanged between Lady Murasaki and Empress Akikonomu. |
巻名は紫の上と秋好中宮が贈答した和歌「花ぞののこてふをさへや下草に秋まつむしはうとく見るらむ」及び「こてふにもさそはれなまし心にありて八重山吹をへだてざれせば」に因む。 |
