Description

青海家の養子・波太郎と実の娘・磯子は兄妹として育てられたが許婚でもあった。しかし青海家の元の主家である芳野家の息子・晴麿に磯子は嫁ぐことになり、それを苦として磯子は病死、波太郎は一生独身を貫く。口絵は芳野家の別荘・仙錦亭に楓の紅葉が映える様子、女性は磯子と思われるが彼女が口絵にあるような手水鉢を眺める場面はない。 /
Description of the associated story (see Is Part Of): A tragic story of Namitarō and Isoko who were raised as siblings in Aomi family but also engaged since Namitarō is the adopted son. Yet, when Isoko is forced to marry Harumaro, the son of the Yoshino family, the original masters of the Aomi family, heartbroken Isoko dies of an illness and Namitarō remains single for the rest of his life.
Description of the kuchi-e: It appears to be Isoko in the Yoshino family's villa, Senkintei, with beautifle autumn faliage of maple trees, but there is no scene in the story where she gazes at a water basin as shown in the kuchi-e.
