Denryaku: Kōwa 2 {1100} 1.8

康和二年正月八日 Kōwa 2 {1100} 1.8

Eighth day. Kinoto i. 1 Clear skies. Because it was an auspicious day, I went to the Toba’in. First, I paid a visit to His Lordship the Regent. I withdrew, and went to His Lordship once again later. I returned to my private residence in the evening. Late in the evening, through a letter {carried by} a lady-in-waiting, I asked the Kitano mandokoro [Minamoto no Reishi] (1040-1114) 2 about the flute. She replied that I should take it. After that, there was nothing worth mentioning.

  1. Twelfth day of the sexagenary cycle. ↩

  1. The wife of Fujiwara no Morozane (1042-1101). ↩
