Note 72 — Exotics (continued 2)

Reading edition

Probably a princely child,—sister apparently of the highborn boys before referred to. She is buried beside them in Kobudera. Observe here again the use of the prefix dai,—this time before the term dōnyo, “child-girl” or “child-daughter.” Perhaps the dai here would be better rendered by “grand” than by “great.” Notice that the term “August” precedes the mansion-name in this case also. The date of death is given as “the sixth year of Hōreki” (1756).

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
