As mentioned earlier, Miss Sasagawara does possess worthy merits such as being intellectual and refined. However, her merits are disregarded simply because she was different in appearance from the rest. Yamamoto uses Miss Sasagawara’s character to challenge the presupposed notion that people who are different are necessarily not of value and thus unable to contribute positively to society. There should not be a belittling attitude taken, such as the reception Miss Sasagawara received when she took upon herself to teach a class of girls ballet, and was the only adult rewarded with a bath towel, an intimate gift that she had to open in front of the audience, bearing in mind that this very act could possibly be seen as humiliating based on traditional conservative Japanese culture.

Unlike previous regencies led by members of the imperial family, the Fujiwara regency held near-absolute power in the imperial court. To maintain their hegemony, apart from occupying the position of regent (sesshō) and chief councillor (kampaku), they relied on an important political strategy: marriage into the imperial family. Historians often emphasised certain members of the Fujiwara clan were skilled marriage brokers who married their daughters to reigning emperors or princes (Morris, 1964; McCullough, 1980; Mason and Caiger, 1997). This emphasis is well founded because many emperors were born from a Fujiwara mother. More specifically, it was precisely this direct association with the imperial family that gave the Fujiwara clan the necessary
