The legend of Yuwaku:
Yuwaku is one of the main characters in "The Tale of Genji," the son of Genji and his principal wife, Kikyo, who later became the Prime Minister.
Shortly after Yuwaku's birth, his mother passed away. In his youth, his father was banished to Suma due to political adversaries, leaving Yuwaku with little parental care. He and his cousin, Unokimi, were raised by their grandmother. Unokimi, which means a solitary migratory bird soaring in the clouds, was a very lovely girl, the daughter of the Minister of the Left (formerly the Middle Captain). Due to her parents' unhappy marriage and her rejection by her father's principal wife, she was entrusted to her grandmother's care. Unokimi and Yuwaku were childhood sweethearts with a deep affection. However, their happiness was short-lived when their relationship was discovered by the Minister of the Left, who had originally planned to wait for Unokimi to grow up and enter the palace to compete for the position of the Empress, thereby increasing his family's power. Upon discovering their relationship, he was disappointed and angry, blaming his mother for not educating the grandchildren properly and considering it dull and embarrassing for cousins to marry, thus separating the couple and taking Unokimi back home, while gradually distancing himself from Yuwaku. Heartbroken, Yuwaku and Unokimi made a promise to each other that they would become outstanding individuals and no longer be looked down upon by their uncle, and that they would marry properly when they grew up.
Genji, feeling sorry for his son and blaming the Minister of the Left for being unreasonable, began to cultivate Yuwaku. Believing that Yuwaku could not become successful under his grandmother's doting, Genji brought him back to the Rokujyo Palace and made Kasaninu his foster mother (Genji never allowed Yuwaku to get close to Murasaki, preventing him from repeating his own mistakes with Fujihime). Kasaninu was very wise and open-minded, often comforting the foster son. Genji arranged for teachers to teach Yuwaku history and culture, as well as the skills required to govern, and Yuwaku showed his talent in these areas. Genji deliberately did not promote Yuwaku's official position too early, keeping him in the green robe of the sixth rank while his cousins wore red robes. He could only correspond secretly with Unokimi. After six years, Yuwaku had grown into an adult, superior to his peers in knowledge, etiquette, and appearance. He rejected many marriage proposals, but had a fondness for the daughter of the only son of Omi, the beautiful dancer and court lady Fujishima, with whom he corresponded. On a cold day, he accidentally saw the breathtaking beauty of Murasaki and praised her, but even so, he could not forget Unokimi. After enduring various hardships and nearly despairing, Yuwaku finally gained his uncle's recognition and married Unokimi with everyone's blessings at the Wisteria Flower Banquet.
Afterward, Yuwaku and Unokimi cleaned and renovated the deceased grandmother's house and settled there, living a peaceful and happy life. Unokimi was lovely in appearance and straightforward in character. After marriage, she was busy raising their eight children. Meanwhile, Fujishima, who became Yuwaku's concubine, was busy with her work in the palace but also bore him six children. Genji often laughed and sighed that he had few children, yet his grandchildren were so numerous. Later, Yuwaku's good friend Kashiwagi died, and Yuwaku took on the responsibility of caring for Kashiwagi's wife, Princess Nii. However, Yuwaku suddenly fell in love with the pitiful princess, much to the surprise and pain of Unokimi, who was straightforward. When Yuwaku insisted on marrying Kashiwagi's widow, Princess落叶, Unokimi took her children back to her parents' home to show her displeasure. Faced with Yuwaku's complaints when he came to take her back, she shouted, "I can't change my personality to please you." Although the couple had experienced differences after their pure初恋, they actually could not live without each other. Yuwaku described Unokimi's temper as terrifying, and her outspokenness often left him helpless, but her cheerfulness and sincerity were genuinely loved by him. Yuwaku once said, "I will not leave her."
Yuwaku looked a lot like his father Genji, handsome and refined, with outstanding talents. His character was more serious and sincere in love, unlike Genji, who was not so faithful and lustful. Yuwaku and Unokimi's love had a fairy-tale beginning but became ordinary after enduring the trials of the world. Nevertheless, they remained the happiest couple in "The Tale of Genji."
