From The Pillow Book of Sei Shonagon
17. Things That Arouse a Fond Memory of the Past
Dried hollyhock. The objects used during the Display of Dolls. To find a piece of deep violet or grape-coloured material that has been pressed between the pages of a notebook.

Last year's paper fan. A night with a clear moon.
