When Akiko was thirty-four, "the New Translation of The Tale of Genji" was published as a four-volume work, but was filled with flaws because its source Kigin KITAMURA's "Kogetsu-sho Commentary" contained many errors, the process of publication was hasty in order to earn money for traveling abroad, and Ogai MORI who was in charge of proofreading was not an expert on "The Tale of Genji."
晶子が34歳のとき『新訳源氏物語』を四冊本として出したが、拠り所とした北村季吟の『湖月抄』には誤りが多く、外遊の資金調達のために急ぎ、また、校訂に当たった森鴎外は『源氏物語』の専門家でないなど欠陥が多いものだった。
