Desiring Long Feathers
Ah, so you are the one that accepted the requst to look for feather decorations. I have a message for you from a foreign voyager. He sais that it needed to be as long a feather as possible. He want it to stand out. And i do believe that the official of this town has a bird with long feathers. Why don't you visit him?

Long-tailed Fowl Won't Work
I believe you are referring to the Long-tailed Cock I showed you previously.
You may not use it. I will have no feathers pulled from its tail. I believe I mentioned before that it is very hard to raise. And I am certain there is a more appropriate bird. I suggest you ask some people more familiar with the lands around about.

A Metaphor for Long Things
A long tailed bird? Come to think of it, there is a bird that is used as an example pf a long tail from way back. It has a long straight tail with a lovely stripe down the center of it. It would be perfect as a decoration.

Bird Seen in the Manyoshu
A bird used from olden times as an example of something long? Then perhaps I can help you. Remember the Collection of 10 Thousand Leaves. In there it is used to represent the length of a long night.
An excellent opportunity. Will you listen?

A Long Night
The poem says that a night as long as the tail of that bird must not be spent alone. The poet was previously unknown, but today they say it was written by Kakinomoto no Hitomaro, a famous poet. And there is an even sadder story regarding that bird.

Nights Alone are Long and Harsh
It is said that a pair of these birds fly to the mountains and live there alone.
For those who know this, the pain of spending a night alone is emphasized just by referring to the feathers of that bird. Makes a pretty good topic, doesn't it?

The Bird is Deep in the Mountains
It seems that a tail feather from the bird that is used as an example of long things would be perfect fro a decoration designed to draw attention. According to the scholar, if we land northeast of Nagasaki, and go deep into the interior, we should be able to find that bird. I will report what I find and what the scholar told me to the guild.
