Beschreibung:
Ukiyo Junikagetsu" (Twelve Months of the Floating World) February. "Oushukubai" After the plum tree in the Imperial garden died, the court attendants found a beautiful old plum tree in a house and took it to the Imperial garden as the replacement. When the tree was taken away, the lady of the house attached a poem to the tree. The poem said, "Since it was the order from the emperor, I was very honored and could not refuse. But what should I answer when the bush warblers ask me where their nest has gone?" When the emperor read the poem, he understood the lady was missing the plum tree very much, he named the tree "Oushukubai" (The Plum of bush Warbler's nest) and returned it to her.
