An eboshi at this time of night? I will make you one to-morrow, if you like.
USHIWAKA.
Please make it now. I am travelling in a hurry and cannot wait.
HATMAKER.
Very well then; I will make it now. What size do you take?
USHIWAKA.
Please give me an eboshi of the third size, folded to the left.
HATMAKER.
I am afraid I cannot do that. They were worn folded to the left in the time of the Minamotos. But now that the Tairas rule the whole land it would not be possible to wear one folded so.
