A RECLUSE NOBLE OF SAGANO

  A young court noble went out the library house of the 
court and spure on a horse in haste. He headed to the west. 
Out of the city, surrounded tranquility of Sagano. Autumn 
grass out of season added taste to the atmosphere.
  Soon the silhouette was soaked in a deep green bamboo 
forest. Secluded house symbolizeing its master. It had,
however aristocratic air somewhere.
  The court noble seemed to come here to ask some important 
scholastic advise by request of the liblary house.
  Only he could see was books, not the master beyond the 
bambooscreen. Possibly the master might suffer from a 
disease in chest or with physical disability and avoiding 
other people's but it was not sure.
  All they knew was that the master was called [A recluse
noble of Sagano], famous scholar that even scholars of
capital city ask his lectures.
  In Heian period, persons with physical impairment didn't
appear in history. The nobles with disability like [recluse
noble] and Semimaru might live remote villas, but happened
with vulgar disabled people?
