SITUATION AT THE BEGINNING OF VOLUME IV

Genji has decided to find a husband for his ward Tamakatsura, though he longs to keep her for himself. Yūgiri (Genji’s son) is still in love with Kumoi (Tō no Chūjō’s daughter); but Tō no Chūjō is more ambitious on her behalf, and would like to establish her in the Emperor’s Palace. Genji is hurt by this slight upon Yūgiri, and there is an estrangement between Genji and Tō no Chūjō.
