It happened that the party of Utsusemi, the wife of the vice-governor of Hitachi, who was on the way to return to Kyoto, and Genji's party, who was on a journey to Ishiyama shrine came across each other at the Osaka barrier. 

The vice-governor pulled his ten carriages to a stop under the cedars at the top of the barrier rise. Their coachman knelt respectfully for Genji to pass. Genji gave Uemonsa (formerly Kogimi)  a message for his sister. He remembered their old days, which she too was unable to forget.
