Description:
"Kyodo Risshi no Motoi" (Heroes and heroines who have been regarded as standards of moral leadership and success). Blind scholar Koho was teaching the Tale of Genji at one night. The gust of wind blew out the candle light and the students could not read the textbook. The blind master jokingly commented that it was not convenient being "able-eyed". Everyone laughed.
