When he resolves of his own accord to step down from office and withdraw to the distant shore of Suma, his heart is divided between regret for those he leaves behind and the dread of an exile whose end he cannot foresee. On a desolate beach where only the sea and the wind through the pines speak, Genji passes his days as if soothing the wounds of a man unjustly punished. Yet even in that solitude, letters from the unforgettable women of the capital arrive without long after he settles at Suma, storms tear across the ocean and thunder rolls for days on end.
