Tale 35, from Wakanage (Lower) As the green willow begins to droop its branches, It seems, in the breeze of the warbler's wings, That it might be easily scattered, so delicate it appears. Her long, fine hair, like cherry blossoms, Falls over her shoulders, Resembling the threads of a willow. From The Tale of Genji, Wakanage (Lower) (Pen Name: Seishu) Author: Murasaki Shikibu It's like the green willow, just beginning to sprout young shoots and droop its branches. That delicate feeling (omitted text) is so fragile that it seems as though it might be blown away by the wind of a warbler's wings. Wearing a long, layered robe of cherry blossom colors, her long, black hair cascades over her shoulders, Indeed, it resembles the threads of a willow.
