Episode 3: Munesada and Yoshiko \ The Monk Henjo

When Munesada learns that his sister Yoshiko intends to become an imperial servant, he wants them to elope. Yoshiko refuses and sets him a challenge: he must come to meet her for one hundred nights in a row. Munesada makes the journey each night, and a storm nearly kills him on the hundredth; Yoshiko still will not abandon her ambition, so he gives up on eloping and composes a poem.
