| The title of this chapter came from the waka poems exchanged between Hikaru Genji and Utsusemi: 'I did not know the deceptive ways of the broom tree, so I wander aimlessly in the Sonohara moorlands.' and 'Born in a humble home and crushed by a name, I might like the broom tree vanishing away' |
巻名は作中で光源氏と空蝉 (源氏物語)が交わした和歌「帚木の心をしらでその原の道にあやなくまどひぬるかな」及び「数ならぬ伏屋に生ふる名のうさにあるにもあらず消ゆる帚木」に因む。 |
