his father Naotoki when he was young., and he spent the lonely childhood
period. It was Kimata Morinaga of the senior retainer who watched Naooki
who was young with warm eyes from beginning to end, and continued backing
up.Naooki continued loving Morinaga as father of the heart throughout the
life.In the days of the obscurity,the Morinaga gave Naooki a young tree
of "Mube". Morinaga said "this is a happy tree". Please
raise this tree carefully so that a happy thing is generated to you in
the future by all means." Naooki became a feudal lord of Hikone and
became the chief minister of the Shogunate."Mube" grew up into
a big tree in the meantime, too. Naooki wrote the last circumstances in
